Whether you are looking for a memento or that one-of-a-kind original piece of art, The Naked Potter Studio and Gallery has much to offer.
Located at the Wilder Farm Inn, The Naked Potter Studio and Gallery has a full line of wheel-thrown tableware in a variety of glazes that are dishwasher, microwave and oven safe. Choose from plates, bowls, cup, mugs, pitchers and an assortment of specialty ware such as batter bowls, cheese caves, salt pigs and wine coolers.
In addition to the fine tableware, there is a wide array of decorative Raku pots available for the discriminating collector. The Naked Potter Studio and Gallery features unglazed Raku pots called "Naked Raku". The stunning surfaces are created using a myriad of firing techniques and materials.
The studio is a salvaged post and beam frame that has been restored and outfitted into a gallery as well as a studio and teaching facility. If you ever wanted to try making a pot on the potters wheel, you can do that too. Ask about our Wheel Throwing and Glaze & Fire Raku Workshops.
