There is new pottery every week. You’ll find functional ware as well as decorative pieces. It’s open every day. Prices are very reasonable and there are many artistic styles since this is a group of many different potters.

Not only is this the best shop in the Spanish Village, it’s one of the highlights of Balboa Park. I’m a low-​talent potter who’s seen quite a few studios and guilds, and this is one of my favorite in the country for the breadth of high quality, changing art pieces available. Furthermore, there’s always a friendly local potter at the counter happy to chat with you about whatever. I have a hard time not buying things here; consequently a lot of my gifts are ceramics.
Because it’s a sort of co-​op of local artists, you can contact artists for commissions or, if you like an artist’s style, you can wait for the guild ceramiganza shows when all the artists are present and have a lot more work on sale. That’s a must-​do for any pottery collector.
And I’m pretty sure I own the Redding blue zinc crystal glaze piece that is the featured photo here. If it isn’t that exact piece, it’s very similar. *love*
GO THERE AND SUPPORT LOCAL ARTISTS!

If you live in the downtown/​mid city/​central city san diego area, this is the spot for a cool little gift for your sig. other.
It’s in the little artists village located between the zoo and the natural history museum.

Know any other potters’ guilds in san diego? yeah, I didn’t think so.
The pottery here runs the gamut of craftsman-​y pottery to mexican to Louise Reding’s amazing crystalline glazed pieces — see the pictures above — which I have never seen anywhere else. her crystalline pieces give me butterflies.
This is a great shop for gifts and is one of my two favorite stores in the artist village (the other is NatureWorks) — the artists volunteeer to staff the store and, of course, are quite knowledgeable about their pieces and are more than happy to chat about their work in a leisurely, pleasant shopping experience type of way.
love this store.
