Distinctive Handmade Pottery

The Potter’s House at Homestead Heritage houses unique and functional stoneware and earthenware pottery in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and glazes. We craft each piece carefully by hand, using a combination of a potter’s wheel and hand-building methods. Our hand shaping, customized glaze recipes and firing methods ensure that each piece becomes a one-of-a-kind item that will last for years to come.

Most of our pottery is designed for functional purposes, taking care to make each piece a form of grace and beauty. We carry a full range of tableware, including accessory pieces: canister sets, oil lamps, mugs, pie plates, bowl sets, mixing bowls, teapots, casseroles, bread bowls, small to very large vases and much more. Most of our pottery is wheel thrown with the exception of our collections of clay woven baskets and leaves, as well as our leaf bowls. For these, we use hand building techniques.

The Potter’s House is situated in our Traditional Crafts Village at Homestead Heritage. Located at Brazos De Dios, a 510- acre working farm community in central Texas, our unique rural setting provides the ideal environment for our craftsmen to produce high quality pottery by the age-old method of handthrowing.

An attractive stucco building houses the pottery workshop used both for producing our traditional, functional pottery handthrown on potters’ wheels, as well as a teaching facility where we conduct classes throughout the year. Built in 1997, The Potter’s House has electric and gas-fired kilns, all of which are capable of achieving a wide variety of finishes and glaze effects on the pottery.

We hope you have an opportunity to visit our shops in the near future. Our Traditional Crafts Village is open Monday through Saturday, 10:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M., CST.
