WHY WE LOVE IT...Modern Day Artisan
Hand-thrown, pottery created a near-present day artisan in post 60's era as a new generation struck out to find their way in the world. Of all the paths chosen by this cohort, artisan pottery maker had to be one of the more obscure. At a time when off-shore manufacturing was beginning to explode, the idea of creating a company dedicated to the handmade creation of unique pottery certainly flew in the face of convention. Jack Boyko was not dissuaded however and we have his fine artisan creations still today as a result. An artisan success story anyone can appreciate.
