Our Customer Photo of the Month


Finally!  A good heavy rain soaks Mark of the Potter and more than fills the river!
Some where under all those rapids are our shoals and beloved trout.

Our store not only features the work of our four potters, but we represent work from over 25 regional
potters as well.  We also carry local fine crafts such as hand blown glass, metal work, ornaments, and hand crafted toys.
Our store would not be complete without  local  jams, jellies, and award-winning honey. 

Select from our wonderful assortment of books on the local history and scenic attractions.
Take home a beautiful and comfy t-shirt celebrating Mark of the Potter.
Find many unique gifts for friends and family (or yourself).

Our sales staff are top-rate when it comes to tales and giggles; they are always willing to swap a few stories!
Michael has the beard and a wit just as wild.  Johni is as colorful  and sassy as the surroundings. 
Sarah is a shameless flirt, and Carol has an infectious laugh!
Then there's Jay and Janis, the owners:  they are a fun and loving pair!
The crew could not be complete without the warm smile of our manager, Gail
(who, by the way, makes the most sinful brownies!).

On Saturdays and Sundays, one of our potters demonstrates pottery making.
They are always willing to answer questions, share a laugh, or just enjoy your company.


Your visit will not be complete without feeding our gigantic pet trout!
