Local art in the Strip District\n\nWe stopped in Penn Avenue Pottery because I'm married to an artist and he loves to support the local arts. He quickly engaged in conversation with the super cool guy behind the counter. They talked about the local art community and the co-op for about 20 minutes.\n\nPottery fascinates me and I've always wanted to try making something myself. Everything on the shelves is made by the artists that run the co-op and the shop. The prices range depending on the size of the item and the intricacy, of course. \n\nWe ended up purchasing a beautiful blue striped coffee mug that caught our eye, and were happy to know that our purchase helps local Pittsburgh artists. \n\nGreat little shop in the Strip District!
