About Us
We are a veteran owned custom woodworking and pottery shop. We have pottery supplies, classes, parties and studio space available. We have about the largest selection of pottery supplies you will find between Albuquerque and Denver. Our gallery has items for sale that are made in our shop. If you have an idea, bring it to our shop, we may be able to help you bring it to life. If you can find it in a big box store, we don't make it.
How We Got Started
I had a dream to open my own shop over 30 years ago. Then I met Stephanie who had a passion for making pottery but no place she could do it. We married and combined our passions and made it grow over the past 10 years.

We felt this whole thing was overblown hysteria generated by the media. Yes there is a virus and it is contagious and it can kill you. But it is no worse than any of the other pandemics we have lived through. We refused to close and continued business as normal throughout. Because there was little to do with everyone else closed our business increased and we picked up many new customers that did not know we were here.

I have never used Meetup so I cannot say about that platform. I have been on LinkedIn for at least 10 years. It was useful in a small way when I worked as a defense contractor. It has been nearly useless since starting my own business outside the defense sphere.

Based on past reactions to pandemics we thought what took place this time was ridiculous and ignored it.
