FROM THE 1986 Catalog (complete digital copy will be provided but piece may not be included in catalog): "Windy Meadows Pottery is a unique artistic enterprise specializing in a hand built stoneware clay re-creation of old-time town and country buildings. Artist Jan Richardson designs each Windy Meadows creation and oversees all the precise steps involved in producing the delicate and delightful works of art . Each house, church, barn, and shop is built one at a time, and each is as individual as the dedicated crafts-person who creates it. Each delightful Windy Meadows Pottery house is lovingly created during hours of meticulous and artistic endeavor and is as special as the time in which it was created. Some of the buildings are faithful reproductions of historic landmarks, while others are whimsical reminiscences of yesteryear life and times. Each is really about people and all the warmth and idiosyncrasies we identify with our own homes and dreams: they represent the places where we grew up, a cottage glimpsed from a winding country road, or the gem we always planned to find and restore to its past glory. The building process begins with a lump of clay being rolled into thin slabs. Each window is cut out, pane by pane - each shingle is applied one by one - each piece of trim or molding is created by hand altering the pieces of clay slab, or extrusions, and applying them to the doors, windows, porches or towers. Like an intricate puzzle, the Limited Edition building gradually emerges a special and wonderful personality. Even though each is part of a limited edition series, because of the building process, no two are ever identical. Careful examination will reveal little surprises -- perhaps a rake hanging inside a barn, a cat curled up on a porch railing, a bouquet of flowers dropped on a stair step, a touch of humanity to which we all relate. In the dusky evening light, the warm candlelight dancing from the windows create memories of cozy evenings in a quieter era."
