Paul Dungan Pottery — Local services in Alaska

What a great find! I stumbled across this studio by accident looking at a map for directions to another place, but it is clearly marked on the main road so it's easy to find if you head east out of town about five miles.

We were warmly greeted by the artist and had a great conversation with him. We're new to town and he seemed genuinely interested in hearing about what brought us to Homer. We also really enjoyed learning more about the community of artists here from him. He gave us some recommendations of places to check out in town which I am looking forward to doing.

And, of course, the pottery is beautiful. For a relatively small space, there was a lot to choose from with a wide range of colors, styles, sizes, etc. We are super happy with the large bowl, plate and coffee mug that we selected.

You can find pottery from David Kaufmann here as well (our mug was his), as they both work from that studio. I loved seeing both of their work - very different and both very beautiful.

Whether or not you're into pottery, I think many people will enjoy making the time to check out this studio to see the beautiful work, get to talk with the artists and see...

Paul Dungan’s home studio is a hidden gem in Homer. Visiting felt personal and memorable. Paul himself took the time to demonstrate throwing a cup, answered all our questions, and made the experience fun for both my parents and my 4-year-old. Meeting the artist directly and buying from the source adds so much meaning to the pieces we took home.

If you’re puttering (pottering) around Homer, this is absolutely worth the stop....

Paul is a very talented local artist with a great selection in his home shop. He and his wife are very friendly, and are a pleasure to talk with as you browse their diverse selection of high-quality, reasonably priced pottery. It is a refreshing change of pace from the traditional tourist shops. I would definitely recommend stopping by to check out...
