Check out the Potters of Hickory Street

Welcome to the Potters of Hickory Street

Welcome to THE POTTERS OF HICKORY STREET. We are located on North 8th and Hickory in Abilene, Texas. We have an amazing selection of handmade pottery made by our Friends in Texas. We have students from ages 6 all the way to 89.
Our Gallery is full right now and we are making new pots every day in preparation for the Holidays. Start shopping early! If you want to add your own flair to the pieces, come and paint your own pottery. We will provide the bisque ware and you glaze it. We will fire it for you and then you pick it up in less than a week. It is a great activity for the family or a girls night out. Plan a party with Dori and she will make your experience a great one!
We are fully equipped with two working studios with wheels, slab rollers, work tables, extruders, pug mills, glazes, kilns and a whole lot more.
We have a great variety of teachers for you. One who excels at working with kids, One who has over forty years experience in the field and is the owner of the place and a new one with an MFA in ceramics and over 15 years experience teaching at the college level. What a great team we all make to make your experience here exactly what you want it to be.
So many choices when it comes to glazes. You will be able to choose whatever glazes you want to finish your work and how beautiful they look all done. More pictures coming soon! We hope you come by and visit us soon. We would love to show you around or just come in and play or sign up for classes with an instructor. We will be watching for you.

Abstract Inspirations is up and selling

There are two good websites to see Brad's new work, he is currently on display at the Center for Contemporary Arts in ABilene, Texas and he has posted most of the work on his blog as they were in the process so you will see a good example of the work here. The pieces look good in the gallery and are selling well, so I encourage anyone looking for some colorful abstracted work to look around and reserve what you want now. I will work out your payments with you.

New things are in the works....patience.

I have had a lot of people ask what is new? When will we see new sculptures or ceramic works and the truth is soon I hope! I am working on a few ideas for a new series and in the meantime I am keeping up with some of my older work with highly detailed carving, I will post pictures of these examples soon. The new year is already looking good and will hopefully be inspiring! Keep posted and feel free to browse the archives to see older works. Be sure to check out Brad's site for current work, he has a show going up this month and has some great Abstracted works!
Keep in touch and Have a Great start to a new year!
