This little shop features pottery that is the unique creation of the owner artisan. Pots are made on-site on the wheel or from hand-rolled slabs. About 50% of the pots are fired in a wood-burning kiln located off site, using scrap wood from the local lumber yard. It also features a small working studio. Prices are affordable and the work is completely functional. Many of the pieces are one-of-a-kinds. It's not the same stuff you see everywhere else. And the customer service is outstanding.

Seasons Open: Year round with varying hours.

 ADA Accessibility Notes

There are two low concrete platforms from the parking to the door but I believe the door is wide enough to accommodate modern chairs.
