The ancient human practice of hand-made pottery persists in Woodstock, Vermont. In this season 7 segment of Weekends with Yankee (episode 701), we meet James Zilian, founder of Farmhouse Pottery. His love for pottery started in the classroom and in 2010, he started his company to create a market for handmade pottery. This ancient practice is complemented by the rustic, traditional nature of New England, a quality that inspires James in his art.
