Recommended Pottery Supplies and Books

If you're looking for online pottery supplies and resources, it can feel a little overwhelming. Here is a list of pottery supply stores that I have use and liked.

I've also created a list of my favorite pottery books for you to check out.

Also, use these two links to read about my two favorite pottery wheel brands. Shimpo pottery wheels and Brent pottery wheels.

Recommended Pottery Stores

Krueger Pottery Supply - Clay Supplies, Pottery Classes, Kiln Repair (This is where I bought my Shimpo Aspire Portable Wheel)

Sheffield Pottery

Bailey Pottery

Clay King

Seattle Pottery Supply

BLICK Art Materials

This are the good big ones if you just need something and don't have time to dig around on the internet.

That being said, I recommend shopping locally, or as locally as possible, as much as you can. There are lots of smaller regional ceramic supply stores that are wonderful. If you can make a trip into the store, you'll learn a lot just from wandering around and talking to people.
