Bill Reddick’s boyhood dream became a reality.

Over 20 years ago, while attending Queen’s University in Kingston, Bill stumbled across Prince Edward County and says he was “overwhelmed with the beauty, the architecture, the age of the place and the combination of the water and rural land.”

Shortly there after, Bill decided it was time to do something about that dream, and he did.

One dilapidated schoolhouse later, he is one of Canada’s most recognized names in the world of pottery.

Recently this Picton-based potter was invited to design dinnerware for Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Bill has also created Canada’s state dinnerware, “The Maple Leaf Service” which was commissioned by former Governor General Adrienne Clarkson and her husband, John Ralston Saul.

It is the official porcelain service for Rideau Hall.

After being “seduced” by The County while looking for a cottage, Carlyn Moulton and her partner Barbara Basille, owners of Oeno Gallery found themselves buying property and turning their passion into their business.

Located on Old Orchard Road in Carrying Place, Oeno Gallery showcases artists from the region, across Canada and around the world.

Carlyn says one of the reasons they came to The County is because of its thriving art scene, noting that Prince Edward County has more artists per capita in Ontario than Toronto.

Oeno Gallery is one of 22 destinations you can experience on The County’s newly launched Arts Trail.
