Her extensive resume includes a degree in interior design, for other people to open businesses because the more that is another in fine art, years of studio work and teaching experience. available in town, people will stay in town longer.”
Carpenter, who grew up on the south side of town, applauds her business partner’s initiative of opening a restaurant in the area.
“I love the sound of the train, it represents Greene County and Waynesburg because it’s such a big part of Greene County, so it’s comforting to me,” she said. “This side of Waynesburg has so much potential … and I want to be a part of it. I’m proud, and I’m excited.”

Carpenter and Adamson reconnected at California University of Pennsylvania, where both pursued degrees in ceramics. After six years in Colorado, Carpenter moved back home to Waynesburg and quickly accepted an invitation to assist Adamson in her pottery studio.
Besides ceramics, the two also share experience in the food industry and a passion for coffee. During the holidays, the photo by Kiln to Table studio started opening a pop-up gallery and serving coffee. The popularity of the idea helped Adamson with not only the studio “I hope that we can just be supported by the community and that but also renovations in the space. it’s something that is sustainable and that we grow organically and to be a place for people to have a meeting, people come in After some years of work, she was finally able to use the building from out of town, they want to come to sit and talk…” Adamson in a way that brings all her passions together.
