John the Potter Gallery in Bettys Bay, Western Cape (original) (raw)

John the Potter gallery on the main road of Bettys Bay is a lovely pottery shop and working studio. All the ceramics are hand made on the premises by John Ellis.

Spend some time admiring the huge assortment of dinner ware, salad bowls, tiles to large raku pots. Johns main emphasis is on unusual and beautiful glazes, he fires in a large flame kiln which allows for the special glaze effects. Come and meet John or his wife Louise and browse in the gallery.

To keep kiddies entertained whilst you browse, there is a small organic jungle gym out front. The gallery is on Clarence Drive and is open seven days a week from 9:30 to 5 pm.
