Sonoma County, CA Full Circle: Pond Farm Revisited at Healdsburg Center for the Arts explores the common elements uniting a particular group of curiously bound potters; they all began their training at approximately the same time and at the same place, at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, with Dean Schwartz. They each found their way across the country to Pond Farm in Armstrong Woods in Sonoma County, to study with Marguerite Wildendain, where they all spent multiple summers at Pond Farm at approximately the same time, and all of them have spent the intervening 40-plus years since then practicing their craft as full-time, professional potters.
