Radio Rehoboth 99.1FM Interview with Morty Bachar

Lakeside Pottery Studio was established in 2001 as a ceramic art and pottery teaching facility that is now focused on ceramic and sculpture repair, restoration and conservation in addition to custom-made pottery and Kintsugi art. We also have implemented a large collection of pottery, sculpting, restoration, and studio management web based education resources. We plan to continue to add lessons and tips. The website resource is used mainly by ceramic artists & educators.


Restoration and Kintsugi Studio Tour




Lakeside Pottery is owned and managed by the husband and wife team of Patty Storms and Morty Bachar (Corporate Bio) living in Lewes, DE, USA. They combine their many years of teaching art, pottery, sculpting, engineering, and painting experience to operate their studios.

We have a love of art, enjoy problem solving and have a passion for teaching and helping others. We are fortunate to have found a way to operate in a creative and constantly challenging environment working on unique and varying projects, regularly interacting with a diverse range of wonderful people.


Repair and Restoration Studio:

Ceramic, sculpture, china, pottery and and stone repair and restoration studio

We strive for the highest quality and we treat each project entrusted to us with the utmost care. We repair and restore a wide range of materials which include pottery, ceramic, porcelain, china, terra-cotta, clay, stoneware, stone, metal sculpture, plaster, resin, wood and other materials. We can provide different levels of repair for high-end restoration and can propose more affordable options and rates when appropriate. We always do the best we can to be sensible with advising our customers on the best path with restoring (or not) the damaged valuable. Ceramic Repair Studio - Sculpture Repair Studio

Kintsugi Artists:

We offer Kintsugi art shown in our on-line gallery or custom made to order. Kintsugi, as the practice is known, gives new life to damaged or aging ceramic objects by celebrating their frailty and history. One can consider how we might live a Kintsugi life, or "rebirth" finding value in the cracks, missing pieces and chips See our Kintsugi work
