Fodor's Expert Review Orcas Island Pottery

A stroll through the historic house, outbuildings, and gardens of this enchanting arts complex on a bluff overlooking President Channel and Waldron Island is more than just a chance to browse beautiful pottery—it's a great spot simply to relax and soak up the views. More than a dozen regular and guest potters exhibit and sell their wares here, everything from functional dinnerware and mugs to fanciful vases and wall hangings.  Pottery isn't always the most kid-friendly but this place has playful outdoor pieces and a very cool treehouse to check out.
