    Amazing Pottery class
    I booked a pottery class to surprise my partner and have a memorable experience together. Carolyn were amazing in communicating any and all details possible and very prompt in her replies. She also went above and beyond for us as we asked to see if our pieces could be finished in the kiln and picked up earlier as we were leaving in 10 days. Pauline, our teacher, was warm, funny, extremely experienced and welcoming to our first experience with pottery. She finished our pieces as soon as she could and we were lucky and happy recipients of our creations:)) I can’t recommend this place enough for a beautiful, heartful, fun experience!

    Beautiful pottery made on the premises
    I have a friend who is a potter. Since she knew that we were going to Barbados, she said that we had to visit Earthworks. She had been told about it as a must see so we went. It's in a residential neighborhood on a hill set back overlooking the water. You can climb up the steps that have broken pieces of pottery embedded in them. This isn't a fancy store but a working pottery studio. The pieces for sale are on open shelving in the front. There was so much from which to choose. The studio part is open and I talked to one man who told me a little about the studio. If you love pottery, this is a place for you.

    Look no further for pottery in Barbados.
    If you are looking for pottery in Barbados, this is it. The shop is quite large and they have a huge selection of pottery made on site. We saw some of their products sold nearer to the cruise port but it was so limited that you are better off coming here. Prices were decent and they do take credit card. At the same time, there is a Batik shop (HP Batik Studio) on the same property that has beautiful pieces, either art, clothes, bags, etc.

    Lovely place
    Traditional Barbadian pottery. Lots of colourful pieces to choose from. On site also is a Batik shop and an art gallery and cafe. We looked around the art gallery and admired the beautiful different artists pieces of work. Also stopped at the cafe for a wonderful lunch.

This was one of our most special places on the island, the colors and patterns are outstanding. We had a hard time selecting the best ones for our personal tastes. We could have bought the entire store! Just a great place to visit

Gorgeous pottery and very difficult to choose!! Use this set for chips and salsa regularly. Also visited the batik artist next door, and purchased this beautiful piece reminiscent of the ancestor of mine, Daniel Terrill, who had a sugar plantation nearby this shop. The plantation home is still there, owned by a French immigrant.
Our trip was many years ago, but I just recommended it to a friend and found the Earthworks website online. Looks just the same as I remember it.

The pottery is amazing we ordered two sets of unique salt and pepper shakers. However as they did have in stock they said they would post them to us, we questioned postage and told "it wouldn't cost a lot" so we ordered them, corrected they arrived in the give time frame BUT the cost of shipping is extortionate ÂŁ51. There was a discrepancy and they charged us more but this was refunded straight away....in short I would buy their goods but don't have it shipped

This is exactly what the name and description say: a working pottery producing beautiful items that will really remind you of the island. The range and colours are impressive, and the choices seem endless. Nothing is overpriced, so give yourself plenty of time to look around before you choose something special. The Batik artist on site is very interesting, as are the varied local artworks also on display. Make sure to check out the cafe serving nice drinks and good food, and the seating veranda gives you a wonderful viewing platform across the island. The fact that they use the pottery for the cafe is an added touch. Check out the steps up from the lower parking area, again highlighting their craftsmanship. The location is a bit out of the way, but well worth the effort. We booked a taxi through our hotel and gave ourselves 2 hours, time very well spent.

We originally visited this pottery 30 years ago and bought a pottery chattel house which we still have. We visited again today and were pleasantly surprised at the standard and variety of excellent pottery still being made. The service was friendly and the staff are knowledgeable. We bought 4 lovely pottery mugs - delighted with them.

We visited the pottery in a quiet spell during heavy rain and had the place to ourselves. The staff members we met were attentive and helpful and we really liked the two new designs that were on sale.
I'd encourage all travellers to visit this place as it showcases Bajan craftmanship and even if you don't wish to buy it is a chance to see inside working pottery in a less visited part of the island.

Beautiful place. Pottery work in a dazzling array of patterns and colours. Bought a beautiful cobalt blue sugar bowl. They ship internationally too so you can order from their website if there isn’t enough room in your suitcase to take it home.

For this visit to Barbados and Earthworks, we had ordered our friends a specially made plate for a wedding gift as they got married on the beautiful island of Barbados, so we thought this would be the perfect gift.

My wife arranged to have the plate specially made prior to arriving in Barbados, and we collected it when we took our friends there to see the pottery...they loved the gift and the Earthworks people were great to deal with, helping us to design the plate and organise the gift prior to going to Barbados, so thank you.

Earthworks is well worth the visit for getting handmade pottery all made on site as a memento of your trip to the island of Barbados.
