Handmade in Wayne, Maine

At Wayne Village Pottery, that lovely stuff known as Maine “blue” clay is dug out of our back field. The early redware potters also used this kind of clay, and we enjoy following their tradition of creating handmade pottery which is useful, affordable and decorative. We started making ornaments and sculptures for our Holiday Open House. The ornaments consist of an array of local birds, beasts and critters; the inspiration for each ornament typically comes from some sort of encounter we have had during the year. Bluebirds are a traditional symbol of happiness; that exhilarating flash of blue is one of the earliest signs of spring. Loss of habitat & competition with other birds has caused a decline in certain areas, but they are beginning to make a comeback.
