Truly a gem. The family is friendly, the pottery is beautiful, the history of Dryden is so interesting. Im so glad I had the opportunity to visit, and pick up some new treasures. Found some vintage pieces to match the 40 yr. old pottery I have, and absolutely love the newer, colorful & vibrant pieces by Zack. This is a must stop anytime Im in Hot Springs!

Pottery was clunky and thick, glaze color choices were muted and dated. Had a feeling of a childs project. Prices twice what they should be if not more

Lots of interesting pottery. The owner is a third generation potter. We went on a school field trip, and he took us into the back to show us his whole production process. It included him making pots from clay, his two kilns, his numerous projects still in the works, and even where he makes his own pottery clay from raw materials. He also has the worlds largest wheel-thrown vase (over 7 feet high!). Highly recommended.

Very cool pottery gallery and workshop. Not in a highly trafficked place, but not far from the tourist area either. Stop in and get a piece of Hot Springs art from these masters.

My husband and I stopped in dryden pottery while visiting hot springs for our anniversary! We LOVED all the beautiful unique items they offered in their showroom!! It is a family owned/operated business so don’t expect traditional retail environment! Very friendly and answered questions. Make sure you stop by if you’re in the area! Sooo worth it! We will return!

An American treasure!!! True tradition continues in Art Pottery. Humble origins have evolved towards the vanguard; producing works parallel to George E. Ohr, 'the mad potter of Biloxi, Miss.' Enigmatic and enchanting pottery surrounded by one of the most scenic parks in the USA. The family is very kind and patient with visitors. Do not shy away from exploring their store and affording an authentic American Art work.

As a Matter of Fact, These Artisans are Real Kansas Folks whose Father, Like Dorothy, in the Wizard of Oz, wound up buying a Dairy Farm, Turning it into a Pottery Factory, and Brought Fantastic Art Deco Original Hand Crafted Pottery to Hot Springs way way back in the Days of Black and White Television, when Crafter Beers and Artisan Pizza (such as I see here in San Francisco would have caused people Stare & Wonder....All Of the Family are and Were my Best Friends Growing up in the 1960s.Now World Renowned & Highly Collected, Dryden ARTISTIC POTTERY is Still a Family Owned and a Historical Treasure with Connections to Such Famous Past Wonders of the Spa City as the I.Q. Zoo, the Alligator Farm and the Showmans Club & Association for Professional Amusement Traveling Shows that once Called Hot Springs Winter Quarters!When I was in the House Band at the Famous Night Train tittie Bar across from the Oyster Bar in 1970s Hot Springs to Bed Springs Era, and President William Jefferson Clinton lived at 1001 Park Avenue, Next Door to the MAD BUTCHER on Park avenue., James Kimbo Dryden, a 19 Years Old BEST FRIEND taught me how to Talk Out Loud. His Ability to Teach a Deaf & Dumb Schizophrenic Hippie Boy to SPEAK & hear, a Major Miracle, should never be Forgotten.Most people had rather I STFU, however, as I NEVER STOP TALKING now a days!As the Gifted & Friendly to a Point of Holiness, DRYDEN, KIMBO should be Receiving Sainthood from Pope Francis within a Year or So. I interceded through the Dali Lama to the Vatican recently and The Dali Lama will bring it to the Holy See next Year.Those who have NOT seen Drydens Marvelious Mystery Pottery should Ourghter Do So asap!
