VINTAGE ROWANTREES POTTERY AND ITS DIRECTOR, LAURA S. PADDOCK PROFILE article/photo in a COMPLETE and EXCELLENT CONDITION issue of THE AMERICAN CERAMIC SOCIETY BULLETIN from 1945. Inside this approximately 100 page magazine is a long and detailed 4 PAGE article - almost certainly uncollected anyw else - and headlined THE ROWANTREES POTTERY ENTERPRISE - A SALUTE TO LAURA S. PADDOCK. Above photos of PADDOCK and "Wrought-iron sign, made by a Blue Hill ironworker for the entrance to the POTTERY" and (2nd scan) a huge array of ROWANTREES POTTERY with sign reading "ROAWANTREES POTTERY...MADE BY HAND," the article begins "Under the direction of LAURA S. PADDOCK, the ROWANTREES potters are making wheel-thrown POTTERY in their remote but beautiful coastal village of BLUE HILL, MAINE. All of them are natives of BLUE HILL, but rather special citizens as well as astonishing craftsmen...none of these citizens had ever seen or thought of POTTERY making until a little hobby project started some faint interest and t From this apparently unsympathetic beginning has sprung that full-fleged Production Cooperative which is THE ROWANTREES KILN of today...". T are several more photos in the article. Plus all the rest of the news of the ceramic world from this era well over half a century ago.
