This place is like a factory. This shop is not about art, it is about production. Some of the drawings on the vases look like a child created them. He has an informercial on the local tourist channel and he tries to come off as a small hometown pottery shop but this place is anything but that. He states that each piece is one of a kind but I saw hundreds of pieces that were almost identical. Maybe some slight variations in glaze, I guess that is how he can say that. If you want a real piece of ""local art"" go to one of the smaller real pottery shops in the area, not to this gimmicky commercial production factory. \r
I love the area and the Arts & Crafts loop is the best, I was VERY disappointed with this store. I found Robert the owner to especially arrogant and barely looked up to acknowledge his paying customers. I have never had such bad customer service in all my YEARS of coming to Gatlinburg. I will not be going back to that ""factory"".
Pros: some of the colors are pretty
Cons: expensive, bad customer service, factory, poor quality.
