Family-owned Wassi Art employs over 50 artists to make its colorful, richly decorated terra- cotta pottery. It is named for the ‘wassi’ wasp, or potter wasp, which makes a mud pot for each of its eggs and stuffs it with a caterpillar for food for her hatchlings. Free tours are offered, detailing the entire process including clay processing, painting and firing. A store sells work (US$5 to US$5000). The owners get discounts from FedEx and will ship your purchases abroad.
Wassi Art is in the Great Pond District, signed from Milford Rd (the A3), from where it’s a convoluted (but signed) drive.
