if you're into pottery, this is a great local shop to go to find clay, pottery tools, glazes, even pottery wheels and kilns. the staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, and will point you towards the right kind of glazes or clay for your needs and experience level. several of the staff actually teach at local pottery studios!

Leslie Ceramics is a nice local ceramics supply place. The staff are knowledgable about most things ceramic... differences in clay bodies, glaze material substitutions, etc. Their selection of tools is pretty good. For run of the mill stuff (sponges, basic tools), you'll probably get it cheaper at a more generic art supply place. They're great if you need a pound of some glaze material and don't want to wait and order it from someplace on the net. I used to thing their prices were higher than ClayPeople up in Richmond, but I've done some more extensive price comparisons, and they're actually less for most things. Kiln hardware seems to be cheaper at ClayPeople, but glaze materials average less at Leslie's.
