Lakeside Pottery Studio, founded in 2001, began as a ceramic art and pottery teaching studio and has since evolved into a center for ceramic and sculpture repair, restoration, and conservation, as well as custom pottery and Kintsugi art. Over the years, we’ve built a comprehensive online collection of Ceramic Art and Restoration tutorials used by artists, educators, and enthusiasts. We continue to expand these resources and share our knowledge.
Restoration and Kintsugi Studio Tour
Lakeside Pottery is owned and managed by husband-and-wife team Patty Storms and Morty Bachar, based in Lewes, Delaware, USA. They combine their many years of experience in art, pottery, sculpting, engineering, and painting to operate their studios.
We share a love of art, a joy in problem-solving, and a passion for teaching and helping others. We feel fortunate to work in a creative, ever-challenging environment, restoring and creating unique pieces while connecting with a diverse and inspiring community.

We have also developed modern materials and processes that achieve stronger, longer-lasting, and more visually accurate results. More ...
