Campfire Pottery

Pottery brought together the Campfire pair, Kristen and Joe Camp, as their love began while taking a pottery class in their home state of Georgia. They opened their studio at the Dana Warp Mill located in Westbrook, Maine, and shop off of Washington Avenue in Portland five years ago. They use a variety of different clays and techniques including Raku which is a Japanese style ceramic process. Kristen and Joe take us on their journey on how they got into pottery in the first place, what brought them to Maine, how they started their business, and what the vision is behind their products.

Bethany Field and Chris Korzen have always been fond of flags. They started crafting the Maine Merchant & Marine Flag seven years ago and they have now expanded to a couple more designs including the first Maine state flag. This design is simple yet truly resonates with many especially this year as Maine celebrates its Bicentennial. Chris fills me in on the history of the Original 1901 Maine Flag and Bethany shares how she goes about crafting their flags. Bethany and Chris are also sailors and inform me of their long sailing trip from Maine to Key West.
