James Teague, of North Carolina's Teague family of potters, hand threw Stangl's stoneware pottery here from Spring of 1941 until shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor & America's entry into World War II in late December of the same year. During demonstrations, Teague would sometimes don a blindfold & throw perfectly made bowls, lamps, plates, vases & other exquisitely crafted pieces of Stangl stoneware. The log cabin was open again during the summers of 1965-71, with Ann Fritsche Martin demonstrating pottery throwing & decoration of leaf & flower-shaped ashtrays.Topics.
