GREENBARN

In 1971 the horses were thrown out of the barns and Greenbarn Pottery Supply was formed, originally to sell Plainsman clays. However, Greenbarn rapidly developed into a complete pottery supply business servicing all of B.C. In 1979 with five employees and too much paperwork, John Porter of Plainsman Clays in Medicine Hat was persuaded to come out to the coast and take over Greenbarn. A new company, called "Greenbarn Potters Supply Ltd." was formed. A year later we moved to Port Kells in North Surrey to a store and warehouse. Working together, John and Stan developed the business further over the next 10 years. John retired in 1990 to pursue other interests while Stan stayed active with us until retiring in 2005... These days, Greenbarn provides earthenware and stoneware clays, raw materials, pottery tools, pottery wheels, electric kilns, slabrollers, books, service, knowledge and more to the potting communities of BC. We have been blessed with staff that have been with us for many..
