WASSI ARTS, NEAR OCHO RIOS, CERAMICS SHOWROOM AND WORKSHOP

AN EASY VISIT FROM OCHO RIOS IS TO WASSI ARTS

We were so impressed with the beautiful ceramics at this little 'factory'. It was difficult to come away without buying lots of pots, but of course we couldn't do that because of luggage weight restrictions and the small amount of space in our bags.

Several young men work there, maybe they do shifts. Each pot has a name of the potter and decorator on the base. Outside the white clay, which is accessed from Jamaica, is put in huge trays so the excess water can evaporate, in the same way as is done in the UK.




Also on display was a few paintings from the potter/artists. There is a well-stocked showroom, and you can arrange to have pieces shipped home.
