Pinecroft has been a thriving business in Elgin County since 1948, supplying fine quality earthware and stoneware pottery and unique Canadian gifts to its’ customers. The Pinecroft Gallery and Gift Shop and Green Frog Tearoom occupy an original log cabin built in 1934 and overlook an expansive pond which attracts a great variety of wildlife from the Blue Heron to Canadian Geese. The 54 acre pine forest setting is reminiscent of Northern Muskoka, an ideal setting for creative artists. Arthur Caverly had the vision in the 1920′s to plant 85,000 pine seedlings and dredge a 2 1/2 acre lake with a team of horses. This early conservation has given us today, the beautiful tranquility of Pinecroft. Pinecroft Pottery was started by Arthur Caverly’s daughter Selma and her husband Jimmie Clennell in 1948. It began as a small studio from which they wholesaled pottery to nearly 200 gift shops across Canada. Brenda (Caverly) Smith, Arthur’s granddaughter, came to Pinecroft in 1972 to carry on a family tradition. In 1982 Brenda and her husband Paul, moved the 1850 “Poustie” home from Aylmer to Pinecroft and began restoring it. Now completed, the home gracefully sits overlooking the property.

Just a reminder that dogs are not permitted on the property here at Pinecroft. We have a resident dog "Willow" who is an angel with humans and is excited to es**rt you around the property or sit next to you on the patio. But... she is not happy with other animals visiting her space. We love your animals as much as we love our own. And to keep everyone safe and happy we ask that you leave your pets at home.

Service animals of course are permitted but we do appreciate a heads up so we can appropriately prepare.

Thank you so much for understanding.

( Willow is the boss and she made me write this. ❤️)

We have unloaded the 10th ( I think 🤔) kiln firing of the season ❤️🍁 You will find lots of bowls, coffee mugs, vases and an assortment of other creations.

Beautiful handmade pottery made on site since 1948 . Every single piece is marked with
"Pinecroft Canada 2026" .

We are a little "old-school" here and do not have an online store for the pottery. Pottery is best chosen in person ❤️🌲 You do NOT need a reservation to visit the Gift Shop😉

The Gift Shop is open 7 days a week from 10am - 4pm.

Thank you from the bottom of our collective hearts. Your comments from our last post have been such an encouragement moving forward and validation that we are doing the right things. It doesn’t take much in the midst of a busy season for a few comments to get you questioning everything. Thank you for putting things in perspective for us. We are delighted that so many of you enjoy Pinecroft. I can truthfully say that although this is our home, we are happy to share it on a daily basis. Beginning in 1921 the original vision of the property was to create a place of peace and serenity that would develop a respect for nature in those who visited. It was known then as The Cabin in the Pines .When the pottery studio started in 1948 and took on the name Pinecroft …a small clearing in the pines, the vision was that Pinecroft would be our contribution to a better world. Thank you for helping us make that possible.

Last year we decided to close on Labour Day to give our staff a chance to reboot and for those with young families to prepare for back to school or just spend time with family. We are doing that again so please note we will be closed Monday September 7th for Labour Day and we’ll be ready to serve you again on the 8th of September. Our season will continue until Christmas weather permitting.

Once again, thank you

Brenda, Paul, Sarah and Chad
