At the corner of Eagle Rock Boulevard and Colorado Boulevard, an enthusiastic shopper can find most anything he is looking for, be it food, music, car services or what have you. Toros Pottery is the only shop, though, that can offer custom, hand-crafted pottery. The store is home to many original designed plates, bowls, bottles and vases for purchase. There are gallery events and frequent showings where pottery, crafts and other pieces are on exhibit, and there is often live music as well. The owner also offers pottery classes to those who want to learn this ancient craft. The store is open every day of the week except Sunday, and customers are encouraged to come by to view the latest works. Pieces can also be viewed online.
