TR Pottery - Special Events for Summer 2009
TR Pottery is located in downtown Fish Creek, the heart of the Door County peninsula. We are open daily April - October. Our kilns are fired a couple times a week, so new work is always in the gallery. Please visit us to see pottery from the spring firing of our anagama wood-fired kiln.
June, July, August: Mondays 1:00-3:00 - Wheel Throwing Demonstrations
Tony will be demonstrating his techniques and will be available to discuss his work and answer questions.
Highland Road Performance, July 5th, 8:00pm
Highland Road, a local bluegrass band featuring Tony on mandolin, will be playing at The Cookery grand re-opening celebration at 8:00pm on July 5th. Plan to be here that Sunday and watch Tony work in the morning and play in the evening.
Email Newsletter
After collecting visitor's email addresses in the gallery for years, we have decided to write a TR Pottery newsletter. Emails will be sent out approximately monthly, and will include news about our pottery, as well as some bits about what is happening in Fish Creek and Door County. If you would like to receive our email newsletter please sign up.
Meet Tony and Renée
We designed our shop with a large, open window connecting the gallery to the studio. This allows visitors the opportunity to interact with Tony and Renée as they work and to view all stages of production from clay preparation, throwing, trimming, decorating and glazing to the loading and unloading of the kilns. We feel that the connection with the potter is as just as important as the pot itself. We are in the shop daily to meet people and to talk about our work. Not only should people feel good about our pots, but they should also feel good about the makers.
Our Pottery
The work produced at our pottery is based on the principle that simple, attractive and well-made items are the ones used most frequently as a part of daily life. With this in mind, our pottery is affordably priced, fired to stoneware temperatures for durability, and is food-safe. All tableware can be used in a conventional oven, microwave and dishwasher.
Our work is made by the two of us and sold in our working pottery studio and gallery located on Main Street in Fish Creek, Door County, Wisconsin. Our work focuses on traditional forms: pitchers, bowls, mugs, platters, vases, candle holders and many other shapes. The comfort and simple elegance of our designs invites people to interact with each piece, encouraging them to find the one that is uniquely special for them. Please purchase pottery from our online shop or stop by when you visit Door County to chat with us and hold a piece of pottery. We know that you will enjoy the experience.
