All of this after I drove all the way down, waited for an hour for them to open, and then I was told they were too busy to even talk to me. Obviously a non profit, rude even to your supporters.

I first learned about Jered's Pottery when I had dinner at Rich Table. I make pottery myself so I…read morehave a habit of checking the bottoms of tableware when I dine out. Jered's name was on the bottom of all the pieces and they were all great! I finally had a chance to go visit Jered's Pottery myself and picked up a few pieces to take home. I even got to say hi to Jered and tour his studio. They make all of their clay and glazes in house. I got to see some in progress pieces including parts of a cool hand built sculptural boxed wall art installation. Highly recommend visiting if you're looking for functional pieces for your home!

Great pottery in the neighborhood. They have a big collection and a variety of stuff you would…read morefind. Some of them get sold to bigger brands such as Restoration Hardware so the designs are quite familiar. You can buy those items here that were rejected by such big brands for really minute flaws that I hardly ever noticed. The finish is great in the products. We got a chance to take a look in to their crafting area and it was huge! They had so many unique items that I wanted to buy all of them. They also host team building activities or private sessions for folks interested in learning the art.

The price of the pen was comparable to what I've seen online, so I'm glad I was able to shop local. I also ended up getting some cute stickers and washi tape.

The pen Manager explained the specific refills in detail. Bonus, she wrote down the details of each model on the back of her business card. She was very helpful and detailed oriented and a pleasure to converse with. We'll definitely miss Flax, but in the meantime, we'll make sure all of the items we need, we get 'em here. The staff that we interacted with were friendly, professional and very helpful. Super bonus = off-street parking lot in rear of store
