Shafer Stoneware Pottery: Centerville, Indiana
Having no real artistic skill myself (even stick figures are a stretch), stepping inside of Scott Shafer’s stoneware studio in Centerville, Indiana was jaw-dropping.
Now THIS is an art studio! Long tables, tall shelves, pottery, and all the things that go into making these one of a kind works of functional art are all around.

Although Scott couldn’t give us the grand tour, he left the door open (as is the small Indiana townway, don’t'cha know!) so we could take a peek around.
In this sunny studio, well, how could you not feel inspired? Scott’s pottery is all around. Holding a bunch of bright daisies, or leafy plants, a bunch of pears, or a wooden spoon. There’s shelves of mugs and plates and fruit bowls.
In other words, this pottery isn’t meant to sit there and look pretty, oh no! It’s meant to be used!
