welcome

Hi all,

The Patton Pottery blog is born out of a desire to mark my own pottery progress. I'd also like to give customers and fans a little insight into our workshop.

Patton Pottery is the Patton brothers' pottery workshop. Greg Patton started making pottery somewhere around 2002, and began making pottery full-time in early 2006. Joel Patton (that is to say, I) joined him in late 2006.

We turn a variety of wares, but focus on pieces in the Edgefield, SC tradition. Of particular interest are face jugs, which have been a tradition in Southern pottery for several hundred years.

Our current main site is http://patton-pottery.com , which is due for an update -- please check it out, and let us know if anything strikes your fancy. Everything's for sale. :)

thanks,
Joel
