POTTERY STUDIO:
Robin Cage, who runs the gallery, is usually up to her elbows in clay in the back. Making high-fired stoneware pottery has been her calling for over 25 years now. Feel free to ask for a tour of the studio and kiln room as you browse and shop. A full line of functional pottery is available in shades of either cobalt blue and white, rust and green, or black and gold. If you do not see what you need, often they can make it for you. Special order place settings are available upon request.
Robin's pottery is carried by over a dozen galleries across the country. In Virginia her work is available in the Artisans Center of Virginia in Waynesboro , Appalachian Spring in Falls Church , Matrix Gallery in Blacksburg and the Danville Museum . Pottery is also available to wholesale customers by contacting her at the studio.
