Mountain Pottery - Idyllwild-Pine Cove, California

Oh how I'm a sucker for pottery! I went up to Idyllwild this past Saturday to escape the heat of Palm Springs and ended up here. This shop is next to the Stationary store I came up to visit.

Beautiful pottery by local Artisans. I was welcomed in by one of the shops owners who promptly asked me if I was there for the Mayor's Birthday... Max is his name and he is a beautiful Golden Retriever, sadly I was unaware of such an occasion but it is duly noted for next year.

Gorgeous mugs, bowls and plates are here. If you are like me and prefer one-of-a-kind service ware, make your way up the mountain and peruse their offerings. I got this neat garlic grater that is so beautiful just grate the Garlic and then pour the olive oil into the same dish Voilà your good to go!

They also offer pottery classes here as well. One item I wanted to purchase but refrained was the candle that had the scent of rain after it's initial descent on the earth Petrichor - there were 2 choices one with pine forest scent and one with wild flowers... they come in lovely pottery urns (not very large).

Helen and her team/members at Mountain Pottery are all super talented and welcoming. The classes are really fun and it's a great atmosphere for learning. Highly recommend the shop as well!

I took a class with my family last weekend with Todd and we had such a great time. I can't believe I actually managed to create something on a wheel with no experience. Todd was kind, welcoming, and patient with all of us. I highly recommend this experience!

Love the new location! Bright and airy space and Helen is a wonderful teacher for first-time potters. Our little bowls came out looking very cute.

I started taking wheel class at Mountain Pottery at the beginning of the year. It's so much fun! Lucy is a great instructor. I even took my 11 year old for a class and he had a great time!

Helen is so awesome! We’ve been coming here for years because they have great products. We finally took one of the pottery classes and had a great time!

Wheel and hand building classes daily. There’s also Memberships and studio time available. Here you can come to create your own pottery. Helen and Jason are there to guide you every step. I love coming to mountain pottery!

I took a wheel class with Lucy and it was so much fun! She even even glazed my bowl for me and shipped it to me since I don't live in Idyllwild.
