Bennington
The tradition of pottery-making in Bennington is largely the legacy of Capt. John Norton (1758-1828) who began producing "redware" glazed pottery in 1784.
The Bennington area was close to local clay deposits, as well as deposits along the Hudson and the River.
Bennington could supply waterpower to power the associated machinery. The first kiln appeared in 1793. The first stoneware was produced in 1804.
From the late 19th Century a move away from stoneware in the marketplace meant that the pottery business in the Bennington area began to decline and by 1948 had nearly died out.
However, the tradition of pottery making in Bennington still continues led by David Gil who began making ceramics as part of an artists' cooperative and eventually opened Bennington Potters.
