About Third Pottery

Third Pottery is indeed the third pottery of both Nan Coffin and Richard Burkett. Richard's first pottery, the Wild Rose Pottery, was in Greencastle, Indiana, and soon was moved to a farm near Bainbridge, Indiana. Nan had potteries in both Whitestown, Indiana and for many years in Paoli, Indiana, where she ran her Log Creek Pottery. Nan continues to be a full-time studio potter making functional porcelain and stoneware items.

Richard teaches ceramics at San Diego State University and makes pots when he has time off. He also runs the CeramicsWeb site at SDSU and is the author of HyperGlaze, and the co-author of "Ceramics: A Potter's Handbook" 6th edition, available from Wadsworth/Thomson Publishers.
