Robert and I are both self-taught potters. Robert (Espo) has been in the pottery business since 1971 with studios in New Jersey, the Virgin Islands and New Mexico. After we met, we started a business in 1986 in my hometown of Unity, Maine. We have a working studio and retail showroom which is open to the public six days a week. Visitors may view us at work and schedule a group demonstrations.
Both of us are full time studio artists. Our work may be seen at our Unity studio/gallery, craft shows, galleries and retail shops.

Unity Pond Pottery's original Maine Made folk art pottery uses techniques such as wheel throwing, slip casting, pressing and handbuilding. We use a stoneware clay body which is fired to 2,300 degress F. Each piece is individually created and signed. No two exactly alike! Many pieces are hand-carved. All glazes are lead free and all pots are microwave, dishwasher and oven safe.
