History
There have always been special shops that link the artist and craftsman to the public. At these shops craftsmen and shopkeepers not only sell their own work but also offer the work of other artisans that meet their standard of excellence. Sometimes we feature work by students coming to the end of their apprenticeships. Other times there will be work featuring Todd Piker's innovative explorations as an artist/craftsman.
Specialties
You're invited to the Cornwall Bridge Pottery Workshop & Exhibit Space in Cornwall Bridge, Connecticut, to shop for handmade pottery that is made on location. We feature handmade folk art in the form of pottery and lamps. The pottery we offer for sale includes pots for pouring, mixing, baking, and storing. You'll also get the opportunity to watch our potters working on their pottery wheels as they create a variety or wares for everyday use. In 1974 we built our 35 foot long woodfired tube kiln based on a design that dates back to 10th century China. Visit and watch the potters as they work at the wheel producing the variety of wares that fill this kiln. We always welcome visitors with tours through our intriguing workspace. Spend some time with us, ask us some questions, and get a taste of the potter's life and art. Not only do we have a selection of pots available for purchase but our workshop is the only location where seconds are available.
