Specialties

Westwind Potters is a nationally recognized source for quality, affordable, handcrafted American goods. While we place an emphasis on functional pottery, we also offer unique pieces from a variety of artists and mediums, including work by juried artisans from «Tamarack: The Best of West Virginia», basketry, turned wood, hooked rug art, glass, regional paintings, notecards, and more! We’re confident your purchases will find a valued place in your life.

By expanding Westwind’s representation of regional artists & mediums, and by adding visiting artist trunk shows & weekend workshops, we hope you will enjoy returning here, making new discoveries with each visit.
