  • 1. Earthworks Pottery

    Crafts

    At this family-owned and -operated pottery workshop, items range from dishes and knickknacks to complete dinner services and one-of-a-kind art pieces. The characteristically blue or green—and, more recently, peach and brown—pottery decorates hotel rooms and is sold in gift shops throughout the island, but the biggest selection (including "seconds") is here, where you also can watch the potters at work. And they'll carefully pack your purchase for traveling or ship it home for you!
