I recently picked up ceramics and learned about Rovin when I was looking for a place to buy underglazes for my pieces. They're affiliated with Motawi Tile which I LOVE, so I was excited to check them out. The place I take classes doesn't allow outside clay but they do source the clay we use from Rovin. I've been using their "You Betcha" mix (mid-range) and really love it. It's got a bit of grog in it which means you're not going to get a super smooth surface but it helps give the clay a bit more structure. Since I'm still learning I like that this one has a bit more heft to it and holds its shape a little better for sculpting and fixing mistakes! But what I was most excited about were the glazes and underglazes! They have so many! And each one has a fired example piece which was so nice since what you see if often not what you get with these. Mostly I've seen things online but it's hard to really get a sense since photos and screens can sometimes misrepresent as well. In the end I got an Amaco underglaze watercolor set of a few colors and a few 2oz bottles of some of my go-to colors. They also sell the underglazes by the pint but since I'm still learning and will be at most a hobbiest, a little goes a long way and I found the 2oz perfect to start with. I'm also excited to come back to get some more of those as well as some glazes since they carry many stunning options. But I decided to pace myself this time! They have some tools here available as well, and for really reasonable prices. I also bought a few drape molds and a stylus tool for fine detail work. I also came in about 15 minutes before close and the staff was still super nice and helpful and didn't make me feel rushed at all. Can't wait to pop in again soon!

A small retail space....but they have almost anything you might need to work on ceramics!!! All of the employees were very friendly and knowledgeable about the products they offer!!! I highly recommend checking Rovin's out if you're looking for anything ceramics related!!!

Overall, great place to get some pottery goods. I find it hard to find things quickly online so it's nice to have a local shop!

I love using Rovin clay! I always have a great experience in the store but for some reason whenever I call with a question the staff seems irritated and is borderline rude. Great clay and supply store though.

I have been buying clay from roving remotely for years, but today I went into the store in person. Not only are they friendly, and insightful, but they are also some of the most knowledgeable folks you could ever hope to bounce ideas around with. This place is a gem.
