Returning from our day at Gettysburg Battlefield & the Eisenhower home, we popped by a wonderful pottery shop, The Lion Potter.Elisha is 7 yrs. old & the son of David & Junko Young, the potters. He, & his 3 brothers, help their parents with the various jobs in the pottery business ... proud Elisha has now his own pottery line, as shown.
** Pop over to follow more of our trip on
David, a good friend of mine, studied under Richard Lafean. Then traveling the world studying pottery in various countries, he apprenticed with Rebecca Moy @ Greenbridge Pottery in Dayton, MD. David has taught at many schools & presently has his own studio in Gettysburg, PA.
Junko came from Tokyo @ ae 17 apprenticing at Greenbridge Pottery, where she met David, a colleague ... later to become her husband.
David, Sherry & his 2 youngest sons.
Most of David's work is wheel thrown & influenced by Japanese & African art.
Junko's work includes hand-built teapots, slab pieces & etched animal motifs ... gorgeous hand work.
I love the way David blends his colors together ...
They now have designed for Boyds Bear mugs.
All the stoneware pieces are food, microwave & dishwasher safe.
Look at the awesome detail of the lion & his footprints, Junko created.
'Enjoy them with your eyes & yours hands'.
Beautiful panda & paw prints.
Seashells & sea horses in ocean blues.
