What People Are Saying

A friend and I had a fabulous time yesterday visiting all 6 stops on the tour. At each stop we saw beautiful and original pottery and talked to potters to learn about their methods, materials, and artistic journeys . It was a memorable day. Please enter me in the drawing for a piece of pottery. Thank you to all who made the pottery tour happen.
