For a half-century, Nancy and I have had the joy of being part of your lives through the pottery you purchased for your homes and shared with others. We bid you farewell here, and our hearts are filled with gratitude for your loyalty, kindness, appreciation, and support throughout the years. This journey wouldn’t have been possible without you.
I’ve retired from making pottery but will post images and stories of my work on Instagram – follow me at @frankspottery. Future potters may gain insight and ideas, and folks might even catch a glimpse of and enjoy seeing their own pieces featured!
Special thanks to my incredibly influential and inspiring teacher, Bauhaus-trained master potter Marguerite Wildenhain, and to my mentor in Ashland, potter John Conners, who helped me find my footing making a living and a life in handmade arts and crafts.
Thanks again to you all – it was really a joyful, interesting, meaningful adventure for us.
All our best,Frank and Nancy Philipps
