I’m so excited to announce that I’m relaunching my pottery in the USA as farm girl pottery!!!
It’s going to be fun and interesting to veer off in a new direction, but I’ll continue to blog here on general pottery topics. Marian Williams Pottery won’t be going away…I’ll just be adding a new selling component: farm girl pottery
I hope that you will follow me on my new instagram, facebook and website!

Growing up as a “farm girl” on a farm in the Panhandle of Texas has left indelible impressions on me which are now evident in my work. The new direction I’m taking feels so right and good.
Ronnie and I returned to my farm after college.
My mom died shortly after moving back to my farm. I think Ronnie built me a kick wheel to help me get back on track…it was devastating. The wheel had a tractor seat and I set up a “studio” in the barn adjacent to our house. Little did we know that the shaft that held the wheel head was off-centre, so I had a lot of difficulty centering pots! But I loved it then as much as I do now. And as most potters know, pottery has a healing effect.
So the circle keeps turning and I’m back in Texas with a pottery studio and work that is reflecting my earliest recollections – plowed ground. It just feels so right.
