Nan Rothwell's Nelson County Studio

Built in 1977, my studio houses my own work space, a classroom, and a showroom for finished work.  We built using salvaged materials whenever possible, so the studio has the look of an older building.

The kiln shed houses three kilns: a salt kiln, a cone ten reduction kiln, and a small electric kiln for bisque firing.

We live in a lovely spot, overlooking the Rockfish River,

near Nellysford, in Nelson County, Virginia.  You're welcome to come see the kilns and the work in progress.

and to browse the studio showroom, which is open

Tuesday-Saturday.  Since it functions on an honor system, you do not need to make an appointment before visiting. 

If I am here. I'll be happy to show you around.  If I'm not available, you are welcome to explore on your own. 

Classes meet Monday evenings and Wednesday mornings.  You may stop by during them, but be forewarned that

I won't have time to show you around.  If you have never been here, please phone or write for directions.
