Seattle Pottery Supply Rocks

Seattle Pottery is a great place to get supplies for a home hobby potter. Great supply. Great website. Great communication while waiting for a delivery. I've never had a bad experience with SPS. They are my go-to for glazes and clay.

The ordering experience for Seattle…

The ordering experience for Seattle Pottery was frustrating. I placed an order, but then continued to receive email alerts that my items were in my "basket" and I needed to complete the checkout. I received one "completed transaction" email, but the other kept coming. Order was a rush, but arrived to late to use. Ordered 9/24/25 and was delivered 10/7/25. UPS shows the order wasn't shipped until 10/6/25, so company didn't have the stock in hand and had to order it in. With all the email I received it would have been good to get one telling me the the order was taking longer than usual. I ordered from this company because they are local to me and I like to keep my purchases local if possible.

As Good As It Gets

I have been ordering from SPS since I moved to Washington in July 2024. I like their glazes much better than the popular commercial brands. They are beautiful, easy to apply and I have never run into pinhole or running issues with them. I can't decide which clay I like the best, but I am satisfied with continuing to use SPS clay for all my pottery. I have tried the Klamath and Vashon varieties. Very easy to work with- very "sturdy." I'd like to try Fools Gold, but being inland closer to Spokane than Seattle, the shipping costs are very hard for me to afford (not their fault). The staff has been excellent in communicating whenever I have a question. In an idea world, I could hop over to pick things up in person.

New Wheel delivered!

I recently ordered and received a lovely new Shimpo Whisper pottery wheel (is awesome). Service was prompt and delivery worked out well considering I am off the beaten path near Portland OR. Was minor issue with communication between me and the delivery company but Russell Wycoff was extremely helpful at ironing out the snafu. Thanks Seattle Pottery Supply for being there. Cathy Glass
