Description

This pottery is completely underground, the studio where the pottery is made, the storage, the oven, and the gallery where visitors can see the finished work. Unfortunately it is gone, there is no successor and road signs are removed and the Google entry is gone. However, the pottery they produced still exists and is still sold on etsy and other platforms.
