A little over forty years ago some friends and I decided to try to save the earth by buying as much of it as we could. We found a wonderful old 500 acre farm that had been abandoned in 1946, before the use of pesticides. We incorporated as Sweetwater Community Land Trust, dedicated to stewardship of the land. I opened the pottery in 1984, wondering if it was possible to make a living doing what I loved.
Imagine my surprise when I was successful!!
I’ve been traveling for years to sell my pottery and have loved the romance of the road but as I get older I want to stay home more and just make pots.
