Multiple local potters and ceramic artists display their work in a gorgeous restored mill on the river. Incredible location, overlooking waterfalls and pools below filled with large trout. Always a stop for us when out on route 197. Considered Georgia's most beautiful highway, it's a beautiful ride up around Lake Burton with twisty roads ultimately connecting with Hwy 76.
