4 Shaw Rd, Woolwich“When you're driving up from Harpswell to Bar Harbor... there's a fair amount of local pottery stores. There's even more antique shops. MAN, the amount of antique shops. I could literally just spend a week making that three hour trek, stopping every 5-7 miles at an antique store, but I digress. One of the first pottery stores we encountered in the trek was Salt Box Pottery. A big fan of salt boxes myself, and a big fan of pottery, I was sold. You might be saying to yourself... why does a man who annoyingly claims to keep a low sodium diet, as much as a crossfitter likes to talk about how hard their work out was, like salt boxes? Listen, I can appreciate the pottery and construction of a salt box can't I?! Can I not?! So, this adorable little outpost is half store and half studio. There was one potter who was in studio when we arrived and she graciously let us use her restroom and was not very hovery (probably not a word) as we shopped around. I ended up purchasing a beautiful bowl, which I pretty much use every day now. And I also purchased a small blue cup that I have no idea what the use case is. It's almost the size of one of those la fermière terracotta yogurt containers... and when I buy those I usually make candles out of the empty containers (like a good resourceful gay). But... I definitely wouldn't want to light any fire in this small beautiful blue thing. I'll find a use for it one day, and it will be glorious. If you're headed from Harpswell Maine to Bar Harbor I'd highly recommend stopping here. I can tell you, as someone who is in their Pottery era, and as someone who stopped at MANY of the potters between Harpswell and Bar Harbor... this was surely one of my favorites. So much so, that amongst the 10 or so pottery stores I stopped at - this is my first to review and the one I'm most excited about... and that's coming from someone who keeps a low sodium diet... did I mention I keep a low sodium diet?”
“A talented artist and an expert in her craft. My mother and I saw your pottery at the USM craft fair this weekend and purchased your snowman mugs. We can now be a little closer even when we’re far apart knowing that we’re sipping our warm coffee or tea in our special mother/daughter snowman mugs. Thank you for this!”

3 Hall Rd, Woolwich“Strange place for sure it’s mostly junk in my opinion but it is cool that this place is available for people that like this stuff …I think it’s worth the stop to see what you may find !!”
“Amazing staff and beautiful pieces, not your everyday tourist trap. It’s worth it and I’m not at all into pottery (my wife is). Cool kerosene and oil lamps/candles as well.”
