A new pottery tradition has been developing along the border of
northern Indiana and southern Michigan. Despite the fact that this
region is not yet an established destination for pottery
collectors, Michiana potters are committed to pursuing their craft
thanks to the presence of a community of like-minded artists. The
Michiana Potters, an ethnographic exploration of the lives and art
of these potters, examines the communal traditions and aesthetics
that have developed in this region. Author Meredith A. E. McGriff
identifies several shared methods and styles, such as a preference
for wood-fired wares, glossy glaze surfaces, cooler colors, the
dripping or layering of glazes on ceramics that are not wood-fired,
the handcrafting of useful wares as opposed to sculptural work, and
a tendency to borrow forms and decorative effects from other
regional artists. In addition to demonstrating a methodology that
can be applied to studies of other emergent regional traditions,
McGriff concludes that these styles and methods form a communal
bond that inextricably links the processes of creating and sharing
pottery in Michiana.
