Clay Bay Pottery

David and Jeanne Aurelius opened Clay Bay in 1976. They studied with Bauhaus-trained artist Margarite Wildenhain, as did most of the nine potters who show their work at Clay Bay.  In the Bauhaus tradition, pots are hand thrown, functional as well as beautiful, and use original designs often inspired by nature and travel.  Also shown are paintings, woodcuts and jewelry.

The gallery space features mixed media paintings, encaustics and etchings by Mary Ellen Sisulak. The award winning boutique
offers unique handmade leather bags and art to wear made on site, complimented by artisan jewelry and designer clothing. Turtle Ridge is surrounded by the inspiration of gardens and nature.
