Earthworks Pottery Barbados

Have you been looking for a uniquely tropical home decor idea? Have you already painted the walls, tiled the floor, and switched out the drapery? Still not satisfied? Why not give your dinnerware the once over and you’ll probably be surprised to find that it’s not only old, but it’s far from unique.

Fantastic tableware can change your dining experience! Earthworks Pottery Barbados offers over twenty-five patterns to choose from. Forget about the fine china and start building your collection of red clay, hand made, food safe pottery!

While the potting studio is located in St. Thomas, Barbados, you can find a variety of their products throughout the world: Sandals Grand Resort in St. Lucia, Imagine in Grenada, and Little Dix Bay Hotel in the British Virgin Islands, just to name a few. The pottery offers a small selection of products to purchase online; however, it is highly recommended to shop in person.

While on your travels in Barbados, stop by the potting studio to personally select your favourite patterns and shapes. Products are conveniently on display to order and while the potters do recommend an eight to ten week window for delivery, you won’t be disappointed when your pottery arrives. Intrigued by the immense collection, you’ll probably want to add a vase, a serving platter, or perhaps some mugs to match your beautifully designed plates and bowls.

It’s hard to imagine that a simple object such as a plate can have so many faces: colourful patterns, flowers and trees, suns and moons, skylines and spirals. Don’t see anything you like? Although unlikely, the potters are happy to help you design your own pattern. If you are looking for a complete collection, however, you’ll want to stick with the stock patterns. Staff tells us that they can reproduce every stock pattern on every mould that is available. What does that mean? It means you’ll have a collection of spectacular dinnerware and accessories unlike anyone else you know!

What makes your pottery so special is that while visiting the potting studio you can actually view the potters at work. This intimate connection with how raw material is mastered and manipulated into something unique and functional is all part of the fun. It’s as if someone is making you a present – and we all know how wonderful it is to receive a homemade present! You can participate in studio tours and find out first hand how the potters have come to learn such a wonderful craft.

Don’t be shy about asking to hold and touch the pieces. Handmade pottery is an experience to be had – don’t plan to hang these plates and platters on the wall to admire – they are better suited on your table for all to personally enjoy.

The price points of these original works of art are literally unbelievable. Four square dessert bowls will cost barely $100.00 USD. It’s often hard to find factory produced pottery for less than that. At such a reasonable price range, you could easily dress your dinner table for under $500.00 USD (including shipping).

Earthworks Pottery Barbados guarantees that if your pottery pattern ever goes out of stock that they will recreate your pattern for delivery at no extra cost. You can’t always find a guarantee like that when collecting other dinnerware or china patterns. This ensures that if you wish to take your time collecting these beautifully designed and delivered pottery pieces, you won’t miss out on vital portions of your collection.

Holding their work to the highest standards, the potters work together to ensure that each piece is crafted of perfection and pride. No doubt, a little personality is injected into each of the house designs by the potters. Being part of such a wonderful trade is surely rewarding and the sense of accomplishment is evident as you hold each piece in your hand. The Orange Swirl pattern showcased in the round plate pattern evokes the essence of Barbados. Warm sand, blue waters, colourful sunsets are seen in this circular repeating pattern. You’ll enjoy your pottery pieces over and over again as you revisit the landscape each time you dress your table.

Earthworks Pottery Barbados is a spectacular addition to your travel itinerary. If you aren’t planning to buy, plan to stop in and experience the culture of pottery and holding moulded earth in your hands.
