luling icehouse pottery

Became acquainted with LIHP several years ago at the annual pottery festival in Gruene, Tx. Think it would be difficult to visit, and not find something that appealed. Main line of pottery is available in two glazes...shades of deep blue, and more neutral tones. Items range from the very functional to the more decorative. All are beautifully crafted. My favorite items, however, are the Canyon Bell chimes. Tone is beautiful! Love listening to mine when the wind blows!

Great pottery and glass art. Fun to watch the potter at work. Classes, too! Recently featured in Texas Highways, I think. I like to give the Texas Star gift items.

I visited this place with my mom and my aunt. The building is really interesting and was a working ice plant until the 1980's (I think that what they told me.) This is a working pottery studio and art gallery. The day I was there, Charlie was throwing pots on the wheel. It was fund to watch and he answered questions and let us feel the clay. It was really neat. They have lots of functional pieces of their own make and obviously have a trade going on with other Texas potters whose wares they also sell in their gallery shop. I bought a really neat olive oil bottle that came with a spigot and also a spoon rest. I am definitely going to take my friends back to this place for some Christmas shopping. The outside is an interesting eclectic garden of found objects and pottery shards mixed with native plants. Plenty of parking.
