Showroom

There have been a few changes at Nelson Pottery Supplies in March and April. A new wall (see image of beautiful white washed Ply! ) has been put in and another wall was replaced and the third wall strengthened. New LED lighting showing off the wide selection of clays, stains, raw materials, cones, glazes, underglazes, pottery tools, brushes, and a Shimpo RK55 potters wheel.
