     I've been a funtional studio potter for 37 years. My wife Elizabeth and I started Spring Pottery back in 1977 in Newport ,RI. It was just a former coal truck garage on Bowen's Wharf but it was in the right location for a working and retailing shop. Back then there was a clam shell paved parking area and only walking , not running, water ( I got my water from an outsde spigot about a block away.) But then the wharf built up around us and in the almost 20 years we were there our shop evolved into a prospering 2 story complex where we sold both our work and the work of about 15 different potters and craftspeople. In late '90's we moved up to Bellevue Ave and opened Spring Pottery and Wellspring Books. That was a thriving shop too, but we wanted something smaller and more intimate---and more free time! So now--
    I work out of my barn at home. Although we are not a "retail shop" with regular hours, we still have all your favorite pottery. And we will ship it to you! So come visit--just give us a call to make sure we are in when you'd like to come by...401-294-5863.   We have a nice supply of Love Bowls, ikebanas, brie bakers, chip and dips, wine coolers, lamps, vases, serving trays, and lots more! All stoneware and ready to give as a gift or use in your home for many years.We now ship the Wedding bowls to clients around the country.

                    So where are we located?
                    30 Terre Mar Dr., North Kingstown, RI 02852

     We're about 2 miles south of Wickford Village-- if you are coming from Wickford go South on the main street (Brown St) to the end, and take a left over the little bridge leading you onto Rt 1a (Boston Neck Rd.)
Continue South about 2 miles pass the pond on the right and Hamilton Elementary School on the left. Our street is on the left just around the curve after the elementary school, and we are the 2nd house on the left. It's a yellow Victorian-style farmhouse, and you can curve around the pine trees and park in the back right next to our studio barn.

   If you're coming from Newport, go over the Newport and Jamestown bridges and take the first exit-- "Wickford/Narragansett". Off the exit go North, (left) for a mile and a half to Terre Mar Drive which is on the right. We are the second house on the left # 30. Drive around the corner past the pine trees to the barn and come in!

   And if you'd like to send us your email, we'll put you on our list for special spring and fall kiln opening pottery parties! Just write to us at: springpottery@verizon.net

    Drop by and say 'Hi' if ever you're nearby...or call us and come see the full line of pottery in the barn...294-5863.
