Adventurous Pottery made with Natural Materials

 

 

Todd Stephens at work

On Washington's Olympic Peninsula, near Port Townsend,  Millbrook Clayworks artists are bringing stoneware clay to life using hands-on techniques to produce one-of-a-kind pottery.


Our surface designs and colors are achieved by using in-house glazes made in small batches from raw materials, by carving into the clay, and with exotic post-firing treatments using horse hair reduction to create distinctive finishes.


Our studio is open to the public (we've been  on the Port Townsend Studio Tour the last four years and will be again in 2013).  As a visitor you'll get a 'behind the scenes' look at  how our artful pottery is made.  On a visit you'll also find a wide selection of new work in our gallery.  Come by to visit during our regular hours or call for an appointment.

Chimacum Corner Store is the place to be!  Food.  Good times.  And, you can get cups made by us there too. Check it out!

 

Look for our custom pottery (cups, mugs, and plates) made for a producer of very tasty local goat cheese, Mystery Bay Farm.  Their well tended goats graze on Marrowstone Island and you'll find their award winning cheese available at stores in Jefferson County and the Port Townsend Farmer's Market.  

 

Also, check out Finnriver Farm and CideryA great place to visit!  They're located in Chimacum valley (just a few miles from our studio/gallery).
