These days, if you're a crackpot, it means you're thinking "outside the box." At Crackpots, we prefer to call it "thinking outside the pot." Our mission is to help you create your own pottery masterpieces in an easy, stress-free atmosphere that's fun for all ages. Just bring your creativity, and we'll provide everything else you need. Best of all, there's no experience necessary, no degree of talent required, and no "right" way to do it!
