Made in Mississippi: McCartys Pottery

Lee and Pup McCarty

"We had a choice: The Cranbrook Academy of Art in California, or back home. We chose home - Aunt Margaret's mule barn, Marigold. Nailed up mattress boxes on the ceiling. Beige paint, one pint of bittersweet enamel (from Wun's, our grocer) on the barn door. Moved the kiln and wheel in. Aunt Effie wrote us up in the local paper for our own folds. We added up the leftovers and had some youth and $13.22. That was 1954."  Lee
