I know that I have seen some in the past. Live near Seattle but have a
friend I would like to visit. Anyone know of a particularly good place or
anything great coming up?

Thanks.

Be sure to check out the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works in Doylestown.
They only do a couple of workshops a year and they are very hands on. Just
touring the place is a marvel. Making tiles with the turn of the century
(1900) methods. The only machinery is the pug mill. They wrap 2x4s in
canvas for their most often used tool.

I'm not sure about now but they were still using lead glazes a bout 15
years ago - hope they cleaned that up properly.
