The Linn Pottery Studio and Gallery features pottery production, kiln firing and retail sales all in one location. All pieces are created entirely on the premises located in Wheeling, WV. Each item is an original work of art as each is handcrafted using traditional wheel throwing and hand building methods. Future plans include gallery exhibits by local, regional and national artists as well as cooking in clay demonstrations.

The spacious first floor gallery and sales area is served by ample free off-street parking, which makes access easy for all customers. This store is handicapped accessible. Moving the business to its current location at 1035 Chapline Street creates a unique arts facility, while taking advantage of its proximity to other downtown attractions.

The showroom is open Wednesday-Saturday 11am-4pm. Appointments can be made anytime by calling or e-mailing the gallery.
