WelcomeLeslie will be taking a year away from production (August 2011 to August 2012) to volunteer in Tanzania, East Africa with Safe Water Now (SWaN). SWaN is a US tax exempt, non profit, charitable organization based in Atlanta, Georgia that is developing enterprise in Tanzania to manufacture and distribute highly effective ceramic water filters to the local people. It is estimated that 46% of people in Tanzania lack access to safe drinking water. This results in a variety of water based diseases including dysentery, typhoid, and cholera. I am looking forward to using my skills to help the people of East Africa obtain safe drinking water for their families. To learn more about what I am doing and to donate toward my efforts, please visit the web site of SWaN at www.SafeWaterNow.org Leslie Koehler, artist and founder of L. Koehler Pottery has been a professional potter for twenty years. Her studio is located in Marshfield, Vermont on a beautiful country road and nestled deep in the hills of the Green mountains. "My creative inspiration comes from an interest in Mediterranean Pottery, the tiles of the Middle East and North Africa, and Japanese Ink Painting with its simple, yet elegant brushwork. Travel is a great inspiration for me and adds immensely to my designs and life as an artist."

About the logoTerra Cotta is a very suggestive surface for design and the juxtoposition of light and shadow. My signature mark, or chop, came by way of an accident. After eating a peach one afternoon, I pressed the pit into the clay I was working with and discovered the beautiful leaf like pattern you see on each piece of L. Koehler Pottery. The rectangular outline has had several metamorphoses – starting with a lead rectangle from an old printing set, the new rectangle is simply a Lego piece. I have been using the same peach pit for at least 10 years.
