"For 30 years I've dreamed of having a full set of Tater Knob Pottery and Farm dinnerware. Am beyond thrilled to be the owner of the first full set of dinnerware made by David Enge." - Cyndi Walthourn Downing, from our Facebook page.

Thanks Cyndi, we're always glad to make dreams come true!

Jeff examining another masterpiece fresh from the kiln! This is the third time we have operated this kiln and we hope to get in one or two more firings before the year is out. If you haven't seen some of the work we are producing with this kiln, check out our Wood Fired Gallery. 

So much time, so much care, so much can go wrong with firing hundreds of pots in the Wood Fired Kiln. It's a good feeling to open the doors and see beautiful results!

 Tater Knob recently constructed a Wood Fired Kiln, also known as a noborigama kiln, allows us to produces a new style of pottery at Tater Knob.

We use what are called pyrometric cones, and you see them in the photo above. They are a very simple, yet effective tool for careful firing of pottery.

We don't say that much about the "farm" part of Tater Knob Pottery & Farm, but Jeff has been very busy with canning the last few day, and here is the proof! Nothing is better than eating locally grown food, and producing it yourself is even better. These photographs are just a small sample of what we harvested from our garden this year.

We now have a Facebook page! This is still a bit new to us, but we hope to share a bit of what goes on around the studio and farm. Please join us on Facebook and let's keep in touch.

Tater Knob Pottery was featured in a January 2004 article in Southern Living Magazine! Download excerpted article pdf.

Writer Wanda McKinney starts the article with "The first thing that happens as I arrive at Tater Kob Pottery is that I hear bells. Not a tinkling sound or the peals that come from a church bell choir but a ding'donging tone - a serious, come-to-dinner, baritone bong that demands immediate attention."

The article, titled "Handmade In Berea" give a concise overview of the Tater Knob experience, with some nice images by photographer Adams Barnes.
