If you're an art lover, a local or in town for a visit, a stop at the gallery is an absolute must. One of the co-owners is always there, and they can tell you all about the local arts scene and provide great recommendations for anyone looking o broaden their local experience. The diversity of the art on display is what I love most about this place. The range of the aritsts' interests and their exploration of a variety of subjects makes a visit to the gallery a real exploration of the local talent found in southern Maine. In addition, the gallery hosts expert classes for budding and experienced artists. Centre Street is a wonderful and creative addition to all there is to see and do in Bath.

Gorgeous pottery and I've been here many times. Disappointed by the worst customer service today,…read moreand it was particularly embarrassing because I'd raved about the place to a friend. As she checked out, the surly clerk grumbled, "We're closed so ya know." It was 5:02 as she checked out and we clearly knew it was closing time. He literally flicked her receipt for the $60 piece of pottery as she said, "Thank you. Have a nice weekend." He didn't even mumble a thank you. Ugh, needless to say I won't be back.

When you're driving up from Harpswell to Bar Harbor... there's a fair amount of local pottery…read morestores. There's even more antique shops. MAN, the amount of antique shops. I could literally just spend a week making that three hour trek, stopping every 5-7 miles at an antique store, but I digress. One of the first pottery stores we encountered in the trek was Salt Box Pottery. A big fan of salt boxes myself, and a big fan of pottery, I was sold. You might be saying to yourself... why does a man who annoyingly claims to keep a low sodium diet, as much as a crossfitter likes to talk about how hard their work out was, like salt boxes? Listen, I can appreciate the pottery and construction of a salt box can't I?! Can I not?! So, this adorable little outpost is half store and half studio. There was one potter who was in studio when we arrived and she graciously let us use her restroom and was not very hovery (probably not a word) as we shopped around. I ended up purchasing a beautiful bowl, which I pretty much use every day now. And I also purchased a small blue cup that I have no idea what the use case is. It's almost the size of one of those la fermière terracotta yogurt containers... and when I buy those I usually make candles out of the empty containers (like a good resourceful gay). But... I definitely wouldn't want to light any fire in this small beautiful blue thing. I'll find a use for it one day, and it will be glorious. If you're headed from Harpswell Maine to Bar Harbor I'd highly recommend stopping here. I can tell you, as someone who is in their Pottery era, and as someone who stopped at MANY of the potters between Harpswell and Bar Harbor... this was surely one of my favorites. So much so, that amongst the 10 or so pottery stores I stopped at - this is my first to review and the one I'm most excited about... and that's coming from someone who keeps a low sodium diet... did I mention I keep a low sodium diet?
