Phyliss,

You might consider touring the historic "Blue Mountain Pottery." It is open all
year and in the summer is open until 8PM. There is a good web site with an
online tour. The factory tours run on weekdays only:

From the map on this next page, I think it would be a comfortable day trip from
Honey Harbour. It's located southwest of Midland:

Collingwood, on the south shore of Georgian Bay, has a number of studio potters
in the area. Here are the 13 pottery-related search results from a Collingwood
business search site, "Community Connection". One or two have web sites
listed:

The pottery of Steve Irvine is marvellous, from what I see of it online.
He lives in Wiarton, Ontario, further west than Collingwood, I think.
It's probably near Owen Sound, since he has a link to the Owen Sound Artists
Co-op on his page:

Don Dubois
Earthen Vessels Pottery
Jim Hong Louie
Steve Irvine
Mark Kelner
Kate McLaren
Timothy Smith
Ruth Swanson & William Mason
These are all good to superb potters.

This final url is for a site advertising a studio tour two years ago in the
Barrie-Orillia area:
http://www.images-studio-tour.com/country.html
It has several potters listed.

Well, that's more than enough to give you pots day in and day out for the
duration of your visit!

Have an enjoyable time.
