The Chalky Mount district in St Andrews, Barbados is known for it clay deposits and a number of potteries. Potteries were established here since the nineteenth century.
This is a piece of artwork by Hamilton Wiltshire, an accomplished Barbadian Potter.

Lots of colorful and practical pieces are made by Earthworks Pottery (though not of local clay). I picked up the most neat soap dishes and mini vases. I loved these large serving platters.

But my heart belongs to Hamilton's Pottery as Hamilton works on redesigns of traditional pottery, as well as lovely glazes, reminiscent of fine Japanese glazed pottery.
