“If this isn’t the oldest pottery in the area, then it’s not far off. The owner is a descendant and artist, gave us a great history lesson. Everything here is functional pottery and I got a baking dish that I love.”
“Stopped while visiting family nearby. Really nice high end pottery, most out of my price range, but the family are well known potter's and have a red glaze that they are noted for. There is also a museum attached that was very interesting, showing the history of Owen/Owens potters as well as historical pottery pieces from China. Really nice store and museums.”
“Michael is my favorite potterer and is such a brilliant artist. Though we moved out of the area, we still have family there and plan on visiting for years to come. We have purchased dozens of soul pots since they have been in business, which are such wonderful items to gift others. I quite literally have so many of Michael's pieces that I have collected throughout the years that I have run out of space on where to put them.
Without a doubt, From the Ground Up is the best place to find beautiful pottery that is unique to the area. I highly recommend you visit and see for yourself and meet not only Michael, but his lovely wife, Mary.”
