When I visit the Caribbean I am always in search of local Caribbean art. The Sat. market in town has some vendors selling homemade brooms, crafts and clay pots. Clay pots are used in cooking still in many West Indian homes. I own a Jaba pot my ex used to cook Ital rice. This food cooked in the Rastafarian culture simmers for hours in these lovely pots. The fragrance of the cooking rice is forever in my memory.
Where are these lovely clay products made? To see the where this craft is created head out of town / St. Johns on All Saint Road. Head up the hill and before the gas station take a LEFT into Seaview Farm. When you get into the village ask anyone where the pottery shop is located. Elvie’s family run the show now and welcome you to their home and gallery. I have some candlestick holders (easy to pack) and other lovely items. They make great souvenirs and are quite unique.
