Since then the Potters Guild Shop has offered a quality selection of affordable handmade pottery to Houstonians and visitors alike, and thanks to our customers for making this 30 year anniversary possible. A very special thank you to those who have been shopping with us since the beginning.

Local Creations of Pottery, Other Fine Craft and Two Dimensional Fine Art at the Houston Potters Guild Shop and Gallery, Now celebrating 30 Years in Business! THANK YOU, HOUSTON

Houston Potters Guild Shop and Gallery is pleased to welcome visitors to our beautiful gallery in Houston. Let us be your partner when discovering art and culture firsthand. At the Houston Potters Guild Shop you will discover the warmth of days gone by in our charming 1928 cottage situated on the corner of Haddon and Dunlavy on the edge of Houston's Museum District. Long a necessity in households of yesteryear, handmade pottery still provides a personal touch now lost to mass production, and this cottage's cupboard probably stored handturned crocks, butterchurns, milkbowls, mixing bowls, mugs and pitchers. Upon entering, you will step into the original parlor which adjoins the central dining area, both chock full of the finest pottery Houston has to offer. The hall has its original phone nook and completing the space are two rooms no longer used for slumber but for our clay art, weaving, award winning exotic wood vessels, stained glass lamp shades and other artforms from Houston's local artisans. You will see either a painting or photograph above the fireplace mantle, and the glass enclosed cases hold uniquely designed jewelry. The notalgia will penetrate you upon entering this hospitable comfort zone where there is always a friendly potter to answer your questions while you leisurely browse for that special treasure. Residents of and visitors to Houston are invited to experience art and culture while sharing it with others.
