That Pottery Place, Decatur

That Pottery Place's shelves brim with hundreds of unfinished ceramic pieces, each ready to blossom with a completely unique bouquet of colors and designs. Animal-painted plates sit propped alongside decorative birdbaths, planters, coffee mugs, and owl figurines designed to scare pigeons away from the china hutch. Guests can throw their creativity at these 3D canvases using the studio’s stencils, brushes, sponges, and dozens of glazes in the studio's hand-crafting pottery classes. Staff members make the rounds sharing tips on technique and helping sort through idea books with painters during open studio time.
