Handcrafted Art Pottery Since 1996
Since 1996, Ephraim Pottery has dedicated itself to preserving the tradition of handcrafted art pottery in the Arts and Crafts movement. Our studio celebrates the individuality of each piece, created through collaborative artistry and intentional avoidance of mass production techniques. Each item is made-to-order, hand-thrown, sculpted, and finished with proprietary glazes developed in-house. Our commitment to limited editions ensures collectors receive unique, numbered works that reflect both artistic evolution and technical mastery.

With two galleries serving Lake Mills, Wisconsin and Cambria, California, we provide immersive experiences for pottery enthusiasts. Our Historical Archive Database documents over 25 years of creative output, while our distinctive shop marks authenticate every piece's origin. Through programs like POT of the Week and Mug Club, we continue innovating while maintaining our founding principles of craftsmanship and artistic integrity.

We went exploring in Lake Mills and stumbled upon this gem. It is on a side street behind Main Street but worth the visit There is plenty of free parking right on the street in front. There is a store and working pottery studio in the old Jail. When we visited two artists were working away. The pottery was very detailed and beautiful. If you like craftsman style pottery or just a fan of pottery this is worth a visit.

Amazing hand-thrown, hand-sculpted, hand-glazed art pottery. Each one tells a story. Love the new functional pieces too!

Great spot with a great collection. We had a few hours to do something and we saw the sign off the highway. A quick 10 minutes into a quant downtown setting. A few shops and restaurants line the sides of a small town park. If your looking for that special gift consider beautiful pottery.
