“A place to make a memory not just a gift shop,” describes Charlotte Laing of Holley Ross Pottery nestled comfortably in a quaint town between Cresco and Newfoundland called LaAnna. This unforgettable site has been inviting shoppers to delve into the realm of artistic creativity inspired by the atmospheric splendor of the Pocono Mountains since 1945.
Featuring not only a large factory showroom accommodating a wealth of manufacturers’ items including Fiesta Dinnerware, Polish and Talavera Pottery alongside their own exquisite pieces made onsite, it also has demonstrations generations of patrons consider “Educational and entertaining.”
Beauty unbound by thresholds, customers tend to frequent Holley Ross’ surrounding acreage with sawdust trails, a swinging bridge and breathtaking 5-acre lake. Many make an afternoon of it taking in an 11 a.m. demonstration available Tuesday through Friday, then pack purchases in their vehicles to enjoy a stroll through the grounds.
Calling Holley Ross Pottery “A destination” Laing echoes sentiment from customers eager to reminiscence over repeat visits for home decor then to explore the area as autumn erupts with colorful landscapes.
