John throws a crock or utensil holder on the potters wheel.

LINK to facebook EVENT

This wasn't supposed to happen and now the link doesn't work so you can't opt out or in.  I can rectify that--email ellisonbaypottery@gmail.com and I will fix it.

The app sent the invitation to people who already had an account and to those who opted out.

Now I'm spending my afternoon writing apology emails; it would be funny if it wasn't so embarrassing. :(

Please forgive me.  I never wanted to be one of those annoying people

Warmly

Stoneware mugs made by John T. Dietrich of Ellison Bay Pottery make great gifts because they are beautiful, one-of-a-kind and  functional.  You can use them every day.

“Perfection just does not exist,” John Dietrich of Ellison Bay Pottery explained to me when I visited his studio-gallery, where he had been producing lovely pottery works since the late 1960s. “I produce about 3,000 pieces of pottery every year. If I come up with three or four pieces that I really like, that come close to what I imagine is the best I can do, I’m happy. That is what keeps me wanting to do it again and again.”

New this year: Gallery Talk! This week it's Short Mugs.

Remember you can shop at www.ellisonbaypotterystudios.com or in our gallery or call and we can provide you with a private shopping appointment.

One of the downsides that people tend to associate with handcrafted pottery is that it’s fragile. It’s delicate, it’s art, and it’s a hassle to hand wash. At Ellison Bay Pottery Studios, we believe pottery can be art — while still functional. Everything we produce is microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe, making it easier than ever for you to use and enjoy your pottery (and then clean it up, too) !

Unlike the carbon-copy selection of pottery at various home decor outfitters,  each of our pieces are original, custom made and one-of-a-kind. You deserve something as unique as you are and the pottery at Ellison Bay Pottery Studios creates just that.

                            You’re supporting local business!

Big corporations get tons of foot traffic, and their CEOs prosper, continuing to make millions upon millions of dollars while smaller businesses struggle under the pressure. By supporting a local business, you’re investing back into the community, and helping individuals.

No matter what time of year you take a visit up to Door County, stopping at Ellison Bay Pottery Studios is worth the trip. With handcrafted and stoneware pottery pieces for every occasion, you can find the perfect gift for a family member or friend — or simply just shop for yourself!

Our Door County pottery studio is located in Ellison Bay, on Wisconsin’s breathtaking peninsula. Find directions to our studio, and take a leisurely drive to view our pottery, or view a live demonstration of our process. We look forward to seeing you, and in the meantime, feel free to peruse our collection of mugs, baking dishes, ceramic art, and so much more!
