I’ve been a potter for over 20 yrs and L&L Kilns have served me well for all those years! Lyndsay Meiklem Dean The Vegan Potter hotkilns.com/why Photo Credits: Joe Michael Glaze Handmade is the physical manifestation of one woman’s obsession with the craft of making pottery and specializes in functional and colorful pottery crafted by Lyndsay, who reinvented herself after running Meiklem Kiln Works, a community-based teaching studio, for 16 years. Largely self-taught, she is constantly experimenting with new styles, designs and glazes. The studio and retail shop allow customers to step into a working studio and watch her create.
