Cowee Mountain Clay

Cowee Mountain Clay Cowee Mountain Clay is a locally owned and operated ceramic studio and gallery featuring only handmade pottery.

All work is created and fired on site and on any given day you can see work in progress and Brian at the wheel throwing pots. New work is added to the gallery on a weekly basis so you will never see the same thing. We specialize in functional pottery as well as Raku, Horse Hair, and burnished Blackware and other one of a kind art pottery. Prices are reasonable and customer satisfaction is our goal

and is reflected in our lifetime satisfaction guarantee. We look forward to meeting you and taking time to show you our studio as well as visiting with our many regular returning patrons whom we thank for making Cowee Mountain Clay a successful local pottery destination.

I fired these parts on Monday and they came out terrible. I swore I was going to stop using this turquoise glaze because of the frustrations involved.
