ing over the same sales, those people might not be prepared for it. We know what those conditions are like -- what that's all about -- so, we'd be in better position to weather the storm.

In 1970, I served my apprenticeship with the world-renowned English potter Michael Cardew, who had revived the art of English slipware and who had worked extensively in West Africa, interpreting and refining the traditional earthenware techniques of the region. Cardew is best known today for his book Pioneer Pottery. Later I was introduced to the styles of T'ang dynasty Chinese porcelain, Korean kimchi jars, and French Provincial stoneware. All of these influences now combine in our durable, decorative and very useful wood-fired pottery.

Our facilities are without equal, even in today's widespread revival of pottery handcraft.Our wood-fired climbing kiln, 35 feet (11m) long and five feet (1.5m) in inside diameter, has a packing capacity of six hundred cubic feet (60m3). At present, we fire six times a year, each firing producing 6000 pounds (2700 kg) of ware. We mix our clay according to a carefully devised formula and fire with local slabwood. Several glazes are made from materials we find locally and process ourselves.We concentrate at every step on producing well-made, functional, beautiful pots that sell for a reasonable price.

Join us for a tour of our historic Sausalito factory, where our craftsmen have been producing award-winning tableware and architectural tile for over half a century. You'll see how every part of our process from clay-making to kiln-firing is done right here in our 1959 factory, often utilizing the original methods and equipment developed by Edith Heath throughout her career.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

Who are we and what is our purpose, you ask? We create, honor and preserve traditions by connecting our customers with their most cherished memories.

While fulfilling this purpose, we happen to have become the world's largest supplier of old and new china, crystal, silver, and collectibles. Our 300,000 square foot facilities (the size of five football fields!) house an incredible inventory of 10 million pieces in more than 180,000 patterns, some over 100 years old!

Made from the red clay of the Black Hills, SD, USA ~ sacred to the Lakota People ~ and a fine imported white clay from Kentucky.

Each piece is crafted by the Sioux artists and decorated with designs and symbols important to their culture. The Paha Sapa (Black Hills) provided shelter, food, and sustenance for the Indian Tribes of the Great Sioux Nation, and continues to yield the red clay used in making Sioux Pottery.

Sioux Pottery is designed and hand crafted by Sioux Indian Artists. Our plant is located in Rapid City, South Dakota, gateway to the beautiful Black Hills area, and is less than an hour's drive from the scenic and historic South Dakota Badlands.

We invite you to visit our factory, meet the artists and see how Sioux Pottery is made. Visitors are always welcome!

Many pieces are on display, including our Sioux Pottery Collectibles and handcrafted silver jewelry. The triangular symbols developed and used by the Seven Tribes of the Lakota depicted the nature surrounding them, their dealings and important events.

These symbols dominated the intricate designs of their bead work, and decorated their skin garments, weapons, utensils and pottery. Sioux symbols alone, or in combination, express the spirit and culture of the Lakota people. Sioux Artists have skillfully adapted these symbols in the unique decorative designs of Sioux Pottery.
