Rising Meadow Pottery

Wood/Salt/Soda-fired Utilitarian Pottery

Nicholas Seidner, with Diane Rosenmiller, established Rising Meadow Pottery in 1998. The pottery is complete with studios, a variety of kilns, classroom and a gallery. In late 2009 it was fired for the first time. It featured a new single chamber, 70 cubic foot, internal firebox, catenary arch, wood burning kiln. The kiln was designed to burn locally harvested waste wood, from mills and industry, efficiently to stoneware temperatures reaching peak temperature near 2400 degrees fahrenheit.
