This book is the result of more than fifteen years of research. The study has been carried on, partly in libraries and town records, partly by conferences with descendants of potters and others familiar with their history, and partly by actual digging on the sites of potteries. The excavation method has proved most successful in showing what our New England potters were making at an early period now almost unrepresented by surviving specimens.

Becoming the Village Potter follows the career of the potter and artist, Linn L. Phelan (1906-1992) from its beginning in Rochester, New York through his Maine years, first at Rowantrees Pottery in Blue Hill and then in Saco, Maine where the first Linnwood Pottery was established. Phelan then became the founding potter at the School for American Craftsmen when it was established at Dartmouth College in 1944. Two years later it moved to Alfred University and he accompanied it, buying a home in Almond. At the School for American Craftsmen, Phelan taught a number of outstanding students including the internationally acclaimed ceramicist, Betty Woodman, and Charles LoLoma, the noted Hopi jeweler. When the school moved again in 1950, he chose to stay in Almond and reestablished Linnwood Pottery that he continued to operate for the rest of his life. Containing many color reproductions of examples of his work, the book will surprise those who know his pottery only through the personal pottery he made during the Almond years. In addition to his pottery, also included are folios of his paintings, constructions and prints showing the two dimensional creations that he made along with the pottery. The book includes descriptions of his contributions to cultural initiatives in Maine and New York as well as his service as president of the New York State Art Teachers Association.

The red earthenware industry in North Yarmouth, Maine was established in the 1790s, and for the next century, it flourished through a group of multigenerational family potteries. Many of these businesses were located at Yarmouth Corner, a major intersection in the town, which included production from at least five family businesses, some bearing familiar names: Brooks, Cleaves, Corliss, Foster and Thomas. However, much of the history of this industry had been forgotten through the years due to twentieth century development and a lack of published documentation with the types of wares that were made there. But thanks to historic preservation, archaeologists, museums and family records, the history of this industry has been reidentified. In fact, the industry in North Yarmouth was likely the largest red earthenware manufacturing center in the state, whereas it was also connected to many well-known potters and red earthenware industries located elsewhere in New England. This book is the first of its kind to take an in-depth look at the various types of wares manufactured in North Yarmouth based on archaeology and a variety of museum and family objects that have never been published until now.
