The reasons I am a fan of Conestoga River Pottery: - Every piece is unique and a work of art made by artists on site - Most of the items are really practical that I can use everyday around the house - Prices are really reasonable - Love the rustic and country like design (but this is quite personal) - You can even see the work area with all the pottery in making! If you are in the area, come and support local arts and crafts. Nothing here is mass produced. Located inside The Village Silos. NO photos allows inside the store! read more

Conestoga River Pottery - Arts & Crafts Near Me - St. Jacobs, Ontario

This place was recommended by someone else on yelp. And in spite of covid I went for it. I biked the miles to get to St. Jacob's and found this place rather charming. Located in the silos in the town of St. Jacob's, around the corner from the EcoCafe, Conestoga River Pottery has a lot to offer anyone walking through the door. Every shelf is filled with unique peices and collections for purchase. Its inspirational and quite lovely to bear witness to such beauty and creativity. I walked in and took my time in looking around. Found this gorgeous travel mug, a heart ornament and a small magnet made from another local artist of the landscape from BC. Where I had just visited months earlier. The young lady working was friendly. I called before going to ensure they would be open. She was talkative and upbeat. Definitely chipper compared to the other person there. Not too sure if the older gentleman was the potter/artist. He didnt seem very friendly, unfortunately. Perhaps my expectations are too high these days for people to offer a little bit more warmth. Especially with respect to this current, temporary pandemic. I understand everyone has their own ways of coping and we are all individually processing the changing times in whatever ways we can manage. When business owners are not personable, it makes me not want to be supportive. That's how I think as a patron and that's my bottom line. The mug I got is pretty awesome. It has a corked top. I encouraged some friends to visit, hopefully they'll follow through on that. And they'll have some good interactions with the shop owner. read more

I love Conestoga River Pottery! Even thought I don't live in the province anymore, I always make sure to pick up a new mug when visiting the area. The mugs are very high quality, beautiful, and each one is unique! I have bought pottery at many other shops, and have never found a better mug. They hold heat well, fit in the hand nicely, and are just overall fantastic! Don't walk out without an item, you'll be kicking yourself if you don't! read more
