I was greeted by one of the artists and became immersed in a great geology conversation with him! Turns out he mines his own clay! There was a workbench covered with various clays and natural material. Even some pyrite/fools gold. That and animal bones, insect larvae and more. This is a higher end gallery- and after our conversation, I understand why. The shear knowledge of farming your own clay, testing the temperature for firing, shrinkage, vitrification & absorption rate- a rabbit hole I may someday fall into. I loved his passion for the subject. The art throughout the space was also fabulous. The woman artist was concentrating on her work and her sculptures were fantastic! Fascinating stop on the pottery trail through Seagrove.

Pots of all shapes and sizes using very traditional gazes I could have dropped a few thousand dollars in here with all the items I fell in love with, but in the end I didn't buy anything. But I will be back another day and then something...more like somethings are leaving with me.

I was told by other visitors to allow myself time to adjust to all the bright colors- but for me it was to adjust to how much they have packed into the space! There was just so much to see!!! Carol greeted me once I came through the door and her excitement just fed my own excitement! Carol and her husband have been doing pottery for over 31 years and started their business in Florida, only to move to Seagrove and bring their unique art to the pottery community. The two mix their own clay- a secret recipe of their own that fires at a wildly unique temp! Cone 1- if you know- you know. Fascinating conversation! John saved me from having to pick a piece of art to take home by spotting a wall plaque with a kitty- in their signature bright glazes. She is already hanging just inside my front door!

This shop was one of my firsts and one of my favorites! Frank is a stunning artist! The gallery set…read moreup in his home is bright and full of beautiful, intricate designed pottery. Porcelain vases, trays and more- gorgeous crystalline glazes and the piercing lattice designs just added another dimension to these works of art. The price point is also that of an artist- crystalline glazes take a lot of testing and precise firing temps. I am just starting to dabble in glaze making and I have learned more about crystalline glazes over the last year. I bought a small tray as a keepsake and I hope to splurge in the future on a bigger piece! Frank's neighbor pottery shop was one of my other favorites! This is a wonderful stop on the pottery tour!
