Edgecomb Potters
Edgecomb Potters, the birthplace of Maine Pottery Company, was founded by Chris and Richard Hilton. They initially crafted pots in their Boston basement before discovering an 1882 one-room schoolhouse on Route 27 in Edgecomb. This location lacked essential amenities like running water and heat, and showers were available at the YMCA, which was a twenty-minute drive away. Their passion and hard work led to the development of hundreds of glazes, with his signature glazes gaining national recognition. Today, our original location has transformed into a new Artist Collective, providing a platform for aspiring artists to embark on their creative journeys, much like Chris and Richard Hilton did.
