Blue Quail Studio

A Piece of History in Every Piece of Art

The countdown is officially on! ⏳ In less than 48 hours, I’ll be at Sandhill Wines in Kelowna for my first show of the year, and I can’t wait for you to meet the newest members of the flock.
These birds carry a story that goes back over a century. Each one is perched on authentic, character-rich wood sourced from Midway, BC—salvaged from the very homes built by early pioneers in the 1900s.
When you take one of these sculptures home, you’re not just getting a piece of pottery; you’re holding a tangible slice of British Columbia’s history. The weathered grain and rugged textures of the wood perfectly complement the delicate nature of the birds, creating a beautiful balance between the past and the present.
Come say hi, sip some wine, and find the bird that speaks to you!
Where: Sandhill Wines, Kelowna
When: This weekend! (April 11 & 12)

The “Kiln Gods” were definitely feeling the creative vibes this time around! I just cracked open the vault, and let’s just say the studio is officially getting a little crowded.
From those perfectly “flashing” reactive glazes to the personalities emerging from the clay, this batch of birds is ready to fly.
