I started a new business!
Hello! Lindsay here with exciting news! You may know that I worked for many years under the business name Lindsay Bostic Pottery. It’s a little bit sad to be retiring the name. Bostic was my maiden name, and became my middle name when I got married to my husband Matt in 2019 and became a West. Being Lindsay West of Lindsay Bostic Pottery felt a bit confusing, but more importantly, over the past few years I’ve slowly realized that making pottery full-time isn’t right for me at this stage of my life. After 20 years of working outside with plants in the light, moving around getting exercise, my mind and body have come to expect that from me, so I really missed it (and it took me a while to surrender to this knowing). I’m still making pottery, just in smaller batches, and I get to go back to my roots and work with the plants in a way that feels super fufilling and good.
My first plant job, Reems Creek Valley Nursery, somewhere around the year 1999. I got my worker’s permit for this job so I must’ve been about 15. I learned so much working here over the years with my mom, and many others.
Looking back through pictures of past craft/farmer’s markets I found some from when I had hit my stride with the pottery, and a few from the 2016-2018 years when I was taking produce and pottery to smaller markets. I had the right idea when I began, I just hadn’t found my niche yet, but I think I’m finally getting there..
I’ll be popping up at local markets with pottery, native and medicinal plants, herbs, salves, and other seasonal offerings from the farm. You can find my calendar here. I’ll be doing more online sales this year as well. Stay tuned through my POTF website (and social media which you can find through my website as well)- https://www.potteronthefarm.com.
Thanks for reading, and for sticking with me through these changes!
