Beautiful pottery. I love the mug I got one with purple on it and it reminds of the mountain sky. I wish they'd incorporate some pink glaze since the sunrises/sets with pink in the sky and that's my favorite to watch when in Appalachia. I also love the little animal sculptures they make for nice affordable gifts.

A must visit. We purchase a cup or bowl every time we visit. You can coordinate times to watch them working or a live demonstration too.

A huge variety of hand made goods, wheel thrown not mold poured. Varying quality of work from new potters to experienced potters and priced fairly. I love this store and got two exquisite dinner plates and want more.
