Biography -- Roman O. Smith
Born in 1933, raised on a farm with horse drawn farm equipment,
pottery was unknown to me. However, 60 years later, I was actively collecting pottery - mostly North Carolina Pottery
- until the house was full.
After retirement, it seemed perhaps I should learn to make it.
Following several weeks of schooling, I struck out on my own and pretty much taught myself by trial and error.
My
wife has taken a good interest and manifested excellent talent in decorating with underglazes and other methods.
I
am pleased with the reception our pottery receives, having won many ribbons at the North Carolina State Fair.
Our
pottery is truly unique with lots of eye appeal. We produce mostly art pottery with a large variety in size and items.
