Original owners, Joe Colliano and Bill Hastings (Jo-bi) began their business in a little hot dog stand near the Cape Cod Highland Lighthouse in 1953. Today, owner/designer Susan Kurtzman still uses the same methods and original mid-century casting molds to create Jobi Pottery by hand in her Truro studio.
The retro and mid-century look of our pottery shapes and designs can be traced back to Cape Cod-inspired originals, but we've also added new colors and motifs to complement the line we create. We sell both historic and contemporary fine art by Cape Cod artists. Owner Susan Kurtzman curates new exhibitions seasonally by fine artists, ceramic artists, and local craftspeople.

Jobi Story
Report
JOBI POTTERY was founded in 1953 in the tiny town of Truro, on Cape Cod, Massachusetts by Joe Colliano and Bill Hastings, known as 'The Jobis'. The shop was located near the Cape Cod Highland Lighthouse in a converted hot dog stand.
When the Cape Cod National Seashore was created in the late 1960's, the Jobis moved their shop to North Truro and eventually sold the business to Lee and Elizabeth Locke, who ran Truro Crafters until it closed in 2002.Each owner has put their own distinctive mark on Jobi Pottery. The Jobis created the traditional designs, the Lockes added a blue lighthouse and seagull design.

Thank you for supporting our small Cape Cod business that is powered by local Cape Codders. Souvenirs come in all shapes and sizes, but Jobi Pottery brings a delightful story to travel treasures. Founded in 1953, Jobi Pottery keeps it local and handmade-each piece is created on the premises, painted freehand and fired in their pottery barn.
