In the heart of downtown West Creek, the funkiest, friendliest, one-of-a-kind spot is at the corner of Cox’s Lane. When the OPEN flags are out and the garage door is up at Makers Station, stop in and say hi.

See and learn about the ancient “fire arts” of glassblowing and pottery. Hear studio/shop owner Albert Gomez talk about growing up in Holgate, when he “had the break all to myself – well, me and three other guys.” Hang out with artists waxing philosophical about glazing techniques or the ideal shape of a mug handle.

Makers Station is managed by Mary-Kate Fogel, whose relationship with clay began in middle school.
