Prior to the move, the pottery had been located on a farm in a rented barn building. After more than 10 years on the farm, it felt like a home- away-from-home for most of us. The rural setting influenced us in many ways, personally, professionally and aesthetically. Our artists shared the beauty of our surroundings through the colors and motifs used for many of our pieces.
