    By Megan BachmanSeptember 26, 2013

    In February, Yellow Springs Pottery, a local artists’ cooperative, achieved a milestone of 40 years in business.

Yellow Springs Pottery members are, from back left, Evelyn LaMers, Kim Kramer, Jane Hockensmith-Reich, Eliza Bush, Janet Murie; front row, Jerry Davis, Justin Teilhet, David Hergesheimer and Marcia Cochran.
