LAGUNA is located in the Pioneer Square neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. Pioneer Square is the arts, cultural and historic center for Seattle and is one of the largest National Historic Landmark Districts in America, filled with over 145 terra cotta and brick buildings. LAGUNA is housed in a late 19th century red brick building with a pressed tin ceiling and hard wood floors. The shop is open to the public.Collector and owner Michael Lindsey scours the nation for the finest examples of American pottery available. He has been a curator for local exhibitions including Collectible Clay: 20th Century American Ceramics and Made Right in America: Russel Wright Industrial Designer and has lectured for the Seattle Art Museum, Historic Seattle and National Antique Appraisers Associations. He has appeared on local and national radio and TV and provided assistance and information to many publications and books about American pottery. It is a life long passion to bring more appreciation to the ceramic industry of the USA. During the 1930's and 40's the ceramics industry was a very important component to the economy. Hundreds of companies across the country were producing both utilitarian and art wares. Today, very few of them still exist. |
