The Ephraim Faience Pottery studio moved into their permanent location in the lower level of the old Municipal Building in March of this year. The Ephraim Faience Pottery Studio Gallery preceded the pottery’s move and opened last summer on the corner of the Lake and Church location. Prior to the move, the pottery, now in its twelfth year, was located in rural Deerfield.

      Ephraim Faience Pottery creates fine art pottery in the Arts and Crafts tradition. People from all over America have begun to travel to Lake Mills to visit the Gallery and see the largest selection of this renowned studio’s works.

       The Grand Opening weekend will feature tours of the pottery on Saturday June 27 following the Founder’s Day Parade and running until 4:00 pm. The community will have a rare opportunity to see the inner workings of this nationally recognized pottery in its renovated new home. Members of the Ephraim Faience Pottery Collector’s Society will also be in attendance in conjunction with the group’s second annual conference.

     Ephraim Pottery President, Kevin Hicks, is very pleased and impressed with the welcome that Ephraim Pottery has received from the community. “People in Lake Mills have thanked us for moving here and participating in the renovation of the Old Municipal Building. Several people who have come into the Gallery have said how proud they are that such beautiful objects are being made in their home town. Ephraim Pottery is pleased and proud to be part of such a welcoming community and we hope to be here for many years to come. “
