Creating pottery since 2007

​Potter / Teacher / Mom

​~Carrie Althouse
We have moved to Berryville!!!
​Coming August 2017 we will be opening our doors to the new
Althouse Pottery Gallery - Studio where you will be able to watch the pottery making process as well as purchase Althouse pottery as well as local artisan items as well.  Contact me with your e-mail address if you wish to be on the open house invite list.  Instead of regular store hours we well be announcing open houses throughout the year.  We will also open by appointment and by chance.  


*NEW*
Now offering "Down-n-Dirty" mini classes!

What's a "Down-n-Dirty" mini class??
Have you ever wanted to try your hand at making pottery at least once in your life?  Perhaps you have a bucket list and throwing a pot on the wheel is one of your items.  Perhaps you want to try potting but don't want to commit to a full 8 week class.  Perhaps you're looking for a good time with a friend or family member (and create memories as well as a momentum to remember it by). Carrie is offering a 1-hour, 2-hour, and 3-hour one time pottery class for up to 2 people at a time.  She will demonstrate for the first 15 minutes or so and the rest of the time is yours to get down and dirty.  Each class includes instruction, clay, glazes, trimming and a double firing of your pieces.  No experience necessary, Carrie's got you covered.  She's been teaching since she left college in 1999.  So grab a buddy, a spouse, a family member or make it a date and CONTACT ME for more information.  
PRICES:
1-hour - $25 per person
2-hour - $35 per person
3-hour - $45 per person
