Shawsheen Pottery got a brief mention in Paul Evans' classic survey Art Pottery in the United States. Made in Mason City and marked with an incised SP monogram.	An example of Shawsheen (upper left) in a vintage issue of Keramic Studio Magazine. At right, two examples of studio pottery by Lewis Anderson (ca. 1940s), of Iowa Falls.	Stoneware is Iowa's best-known clay product, such as that made in Ft. Dodge. Artistic products by the Iowa Art Clay Company are both more scarce and more affordable.
In Ames, Iowa  State College (now University) students and ceramic faculty made and sold art pottery under the direction of Paul Cox (previously at Newcomb College).	There is a small handful of avid collectors of the Iowa art pottery works. If you find something made by one of these potters, please contact Mark Bassett.	The Iowa Art Pottery Association (IAPA) is a regional club, affiliated with the American Art Pottery Association (AAPA), whose website is www.AmArtPot.org.
The black/white archival photograph shows students at ISC in the ceramic workshop. This pottery is often marked ISC. Pieces by Mary Yancey are marked with a Y inside a circle.	Farr Pottery was made in Oskaloosa from about 1907 until the mid teens. These scarce pieces are usually hand-incised "Farr" (in script) and also dated.	Besides stoneware, Iowa is also known for novelty items made of sewer tile by concerns like Dickey Clay Company, Leheigh, and What Cheer.
