Ogres-Holm Pottery began as a family hobby in 2012 and grew into pottery studio, gallery, and ceramic supplies store. Merrill, Jo, and Lucas share their love of pottery by teaching the many aspects of working with clay. One of their favorite parts of owning the studio is the constant learning, sharing, and growing that they, and all of the studio members and visitors enjoy. The studio name was born of a family joke and a unique sense of humor. Ogres because all of the guys are giants, and Holm which could be defined as a low muddy place. Ogres-Holm Pottery.
