Ephraim Pottery moved to the little town of Lake Mills, Wisconsin. 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.
To honor the
influence that the farm has had on our lives and work, we have created a
small collection called Farewell to the Farm. These pieces were
inspired by the plants, animals and colors that were familiar sights on or
near the farm and are our way of saying “thank you” and “so long” to the
farm and the landlords who were so kind and supportive for those 10+
years.
The Farewell to
the Farm series will be offered for one year only*, and no more than
500 pieces will be made of each design. The pieces in this series will
bear an additional mark on the foot designating them as part of the
Farewell to the Farm collection. Please join us in honoring the
important role that the farm played in our lives and in our work by adding
the Farewell to the Farm pieces to your personal collection.
* Ordering deadline
for Farewell to the Farm pieces will be June 30th, 2010. |
