The Painted Pot is an independent, family-owned contemporary ceramics studio that operates out of a house alongside other Rochester businesses. The owner, Gina Honant, grew up in Rochester. The Painted Pot enjoys a strong set of regular customers who come in with friends or family to paint their own plates, mugs or other items for decorative and kitchen use. After one week, the customers return to pick up a fired, glazed and finished product that they created themselves.
