Albert Barnes Commentary Jeremiah 18:2

"Arise, and go down to the potter`s house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words." — Jeremiah 18:2 (ASV)

House - that is, workshop. The clay-field where the potters exercised their craft lay to the south of Jerusalem just beyond the valley of Hinnom. Compare (Zechariah 11:13); (Matthew 27:10).
