I love pottery! I saw this cute store and went in. The first day I went in, I wasn't acknowledged. I saw some beautiful pieces however that I couldn't stop thinking about. So i decided to go in again the next day. The following day the lady was so friendly. I enjoyed talking to her and she made my experience so much better. I found a lot of pieces I liked. Even more the second day that I hadn't seen the first day. I think because i felt more welcome and could enjoy looking more. I fell in love with Frank Massarella's work. I learned his pottery is new to the store. I bought 6 of his pieces! The detail is lousy beautiful. I also bought two pieces from Jay Trenchard. I love these beautiful goblets. I can't wait to use these pieces to plate my cooking creations. And thank you to the women I met the second day. She is what made me feel welcome and the reason I bought. She was even so kind to offer to help me walk to my car with all my purchases. read more

A nice shop across from the Robin Restaurant. Lots of glassware that was special. But the best is hand made ladies jewelry that was one of a kind. Very nice. read more

1st time here, but not my last. I had the joy and pleasure of meeting Anna Easter (also an artist) the day I visited the shop. She was a pure delight and her art is beautiful. The shop is chock full of local artists work. Everything is beautifully displayed, eye catching and worthy of a good deal of time browsing. The minute I walked in the door my eye caught sight of some beautiful and whimsically colored wool hats, which natch, I had to purchase. I so enjoyed my time in this little shop and next time in the area, I shall visit once again. Don't miss it if you are ever in Cambria. The whole town is quite charming. read more

Amphora Gallery - Art Galleries Near Me - Cambria, California

Located next door to our favorite fudge shop, this gallery has some beautiful items, ranging from drinking glasses to glass art to pottery, jewelry and even a really cool chess set. I believe all the items are made by local artists. So many really cool items. The jewelry was particularly unique, but I also enjoyed the different kinds of pottery, as well. I wanted to buy something (a few things, truth be told), but I couldn't even think of where to put one of them, let alone several, so I once again walked out empty-handed, as I had done at the other galleries. There's always a next-time. read more

Very nice shop downtown Cambria. We were lucky to have met one of the potters and learned that the shop is a combination of the work of 5 potters and one artist who are all friends. The lady working was so friendly, answered all of our questions and told us about the making of several pieces. Couldn't resist and picked up a few mugs, with gorgeous unique glazes. Check out the whimsical dog themed works of art on the wall, really amazing! read more

New store in Cambria. Husband & Wife team who make majority of the pottery in the gallery. I believe they carry other pieces from local artists too. Beautiful craftsmanship with reasonable prices. I bought a new mug to have at work. Very cool to purchase a piece of art from the actual people who made it. Now when I drink water at my desk I'll remember my relaxing vacation. read more

Amphora Gallery - Art Galleries Near Me - Cambria, California

Such a beautiful shop! I love going through coastal art galleries and this is one of my favorites! Prices are reasonable and the art is incredible! It's a must see location read more

A visual treat on many levels. The ceramics are fun--contemporary with a nod to the antique (as implied in the name of the gallery). The paintings by Brenda Gale have a touch of Munch's expressionism, but in a light-hearted mood, thoroughly imbued with California dreamscapes and colors. Highly recommended for a visit in this town rich in art. read more

Beautiful pottery by several local artists. Really unique items. I had my eye on a beautiful bowl that had a very cool abstract landscape design. Thought about it all day, and came back in the afternoon and bought it for a wedding present. This shop will be a must-stop on my future visits to Cambria! read more

My husband and I were leaving a restaurant across the street when we saw Amphora Gallery. We could see the great pottery on the display, so we headed over to get a better view. Amphora has a nice selection of pottery made by local potters and others in the Central CA area. There were also beautiful, vibrant oil paintings for sale. I really wish I could have bought one (next time). We decided on one vase as a gift for my mom. I'd highly recommend paying a visit to Amphora if you are in the area- beautiful work and help support local artisans! read more

Lovely and unique pottery at all price points. Owners were very friendly. I bought some small pieces and hope to add to my collection in the future. read more

The shop is packed full of adorable things! I like that they have the work of local artists and items that reflect Cambria and the seaside. The staff were super helpful and kind. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. read more

I am not an avid pottery fan and this place has a lot of pottery. An older couple were admiring a blue colored vase with wavy designs. One of the artists was minding the store and putting on designs on her clay bowl before it goes into the kiln. Nice local artistry work by 6 individuals. read more

Wonderful pieces!! Best I have seen in a long time. They have a lot of unique pieces and the artists who do the work also run the gallery. They are friendly and fun to talk with. This store was the highlight of my trip to Cambria. I purchased some great looking fish! read more

We were eating across the street at Robins and as we always do after a large meal, we decided to wander. Not aimlessly... ok maybe a little. We decided to go across the street and see all the artistic galleries that downtown Cambria had to offer. Amphora was one such place where we were immediately greeted by one of the artists represented at this gallery as we walked in the door. Amphora has 6 local Cambria artists represented there. the vast majority of the work was pottery but they had a few paintings there as well. I can't stress enough what a great collection of work is in there. The pottery was exquisite and if I had deeper pockets, I may have made a few purchases. In general, the choice of colors and design on the pieces of pottery and pictures are perfect for those wanting to dress up their houses in beach or Spanish mission decor. Great stuff here and I recommend everyone to come and see this place! read more

I bought a fish platter and small bowl and had them shipped. They were very protected and beautiful when I opened them. It's fun to get a treat from your trip after you've returned to routine life. I love their pottery,especially the aqua pieces with matte glaze. Their mugs are so nice too with a nice feel in your hand. The glazes meld into pretty colors making them unique. Can't wait to come back to Cambria! read more
