Dear Visitor
More than 40 outstanding studio potters with a reputation for superior craftsmanship and elegant, original design
are featured in the gallery. Functional work in stoneware and porcelain gives pleasure in daily use, and all glazes
are lead free. Purely decorative works in a variety of individual styles and techniques are another important focus
of the gallery.
We are also proud to represent an excellent group of visual artists who exhibit their paintings and limited edition
prints in our gallery. Come and share the excitement.
Please, feel free to just browse or ask questions at the Potters Wheel Studio and Gallery. Learn more about the
impressive range of contemporary, handmade clayworks we exhibit. Don't miss our annual "Ceramic Sound"
show, which delights and surprises visitors with Planet Speakers, drums, and ocarina sculptures.
Most Wednesdays from 2 to 4 PM there is a wheel demonstration, and you may sit and watch whenever pottery is in
the process of being made on the wheel.
We also hope you will become as fascinated as we are with Southwest Pueblo pottery and sculpture by museum quality
artists. We travel each year to bring new works to the collection.

indigenous pottery of the southwest Pueblos, Mexico and Japan. Joanne has spent over 20 years working in this medium
professionally, as well as teaching occasionally in high school and adult education ceramics programs. Her work
is in homes from England to Kenya and Japan to South America and the United States. She has shown her porcelain

Don Reitz
Covered Stoneware Jar $500SOLD! salt-glazed 6 1/2" x 8"
Born in 1929, Don Reitz received his
B.S. from Kutztown State College, Kutztown, Pennsylvania in 1957. In 1962 Mr. Reitz received his M.F.A. from the
New York State School of Ceramics, Alfred University, Alfred, New York. For many years he headed the Ceramics Department
at the University of Wisconsin, Madison.
Perhaps no one has been single-handedly more responsible for the resurgent interest in the art of salt glazing
than Donald Reitz, who pursues salt glazing with intense ingenuity. After much experimenting he developed a wide
and rich vocabulary of colors, textures and other surface embellishments that gives his pottery strength and distinction.
Numerous exhibitions, awards, lectures and workshops throughout the nation and other continents have established
him as one of the important leaders in American studio-pottery.
