Hey, now. I hesitate to advertise our pottery business, but we do have pieces for sale and are happy to demonstrate the process. If you are staying with us long enough we would be happy to teach you how to make your own simple clay project, usually a plate or a cup. If you are only here for a short stay, ask for a demonstration on the potters wheel.
