The Carefree Quail

Welcome to the magical world of hand-crafted artisanal pottery! The Carefree Quail is a pottery and fine art pop-up shop shop located in the Tumwater Craft District showcasing a variety of pottery and other handmade goods. They love encouraging people to have fun and be in the community by providing clay classes and partnering with restaurants, wine bars, taprooms, and more, to create a unique experience!

Their high-fire process ensures that their vessels are beautiful, as well as food, dishwasher, and microwave-safe. But there's a science behind the magic. Through a process called nucleation, our unglazed pots enhance your tasting experience by releasing oxygen into your beverage, allowing you to taste the subtle flavors better. Explore their collection of cups, mugs, and tumblers and experience the magic (science) for yourself!
