Let me start by saying that I am the opposite of crafty. My parents still love to tell about the note sent home about my lack of scissors skill in first grade. In my defense, my teacher kept making me cut with my right hand (and I am left-handed)!
I am so completely in awe of anyone who can make something from nothing. And Gene Speicher? Well, he’s definitely got a way with clay.
Before you even walk inside you know it will be great. His pottery shop is in such a neat ivy covered building right near downtown Francesville, Indiana. It just screams “artist” to me! Inside? It gets better. Oh, man, does it get better!

Gene Speicher is a creator who cares about his things. How do I know? Well, check out the note to his customers posted in his tidy little shop.
His work isn’t delicate, fragile, and only meant to sit there and look pretty. Not on your life! Gene Speicher creates items that are meant to be used! But not only that, he wants people to use his items creatively.
This Indiana town shop has amazing items to choose from. Who can resist a one-of-a-kind item? My husband, Jeremy, was in love with the mugs. I loved the pitchers! Classic, beautiful, and made for my kitchen–his color choices are fantastic.
Kid #1 was along and, while he continually freaked me out by wanting to touch things, he thought the pottery wheel was pretty cool to look at. I have to agree.
