Potter’s Place Pottery continues ceramic craft Like Picasso, Karen Cruce began making pottery later in her life, taking up the craft in her 40s. The owner of Potter’s Place Pottery opened the Sta ord shop in 2000, after her husband suggested she nally learn how to mold ceramics from a slab of clay, she said. “He rues the day he ever did that because it’s turned into this,” she said, laughing. “And it’s really a passion.” How it started Even before she became an artist, a teacher and a business owner, Cruce loved pottery and the feel of earth. Her mother would let her bring small things back from gift shops. Now, although she and her husband have moved closer to family in Louisiana, she said Potter’s Place will remain in Sta ord—where she said she has built a community.
Potter’s Place Pottery hosts between 80 100 students a week who want to learn a new skill.
