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.
