Pond Farm Pottery was designated a National Historic Landmark in December 2023. Learn about the dreams and challenges of the Herr Family and Marguerite Wildenhain, the first woman master potter to graduate from the Bauhaus. Pond Farm was Marguerite’s home, school and studio for over 30 years where she taught hundreds of her students in the traditions of the Bauhaus.
