Pigeon River Pottery

This pottery store had everything you could want and more. Every item was handmade and unique, with beautiful glazes of all sorts of colors. There were plenty of workers who were friendly and answered all our questions. It was fun to walk around and read all the different labels and explanations of all the different ceramic pieces. If you like pottery, this is the ultimate store for you!

Today marked our second visit to Pigeon River Pottery. We were impressed earlier this week when we stopped in by the warm and kind customer service we got from the young ladies working there. We were also impressed by the ample selection of handmade pottery and ceramics. There are some items in the store that you will probably never see again, such as the handcarved wood fireplace mantle in the back. It was a $ 3500 piece, but one of the best woodcarvings I’ve ever seen. I regret not getting a photo of it to post on here.
We returned today to purchase the ingenious bacon cooker. I don’t know how to describe it other than to say it cooks bacon and collects all the fat at the bottom. I will post a picture when I get it home and unpacked. Unfortunately the service today wasn’t nearly as warm, inviting, or kind as it had been earlier in the week. The staff today was older and seemed less interested in explaining things to us.
Nevertheless, this place deserves four stas for how awesome the pottery is, the fact that they do live demonstrations, allowing you to watch the pottery being made, and that the evening staff is kind and informative.

The prices were very reasonable, and the potter working in the back was great at answering questions. I thought this was a great place to shop for a one of a kind gift.

I was expecting this place to be really expensive, but it is not for what you get. I watched a thrower make a few things and she was really kind to answer my questions. I picked up a knitting bowl with one hole and a «swoope», I think it was a very innovative design for a knitting bowl. Love the color. The sales people were very helpful.
