Peter Jackson

Wakefield Studio is located just outside the tiny village of Rockdale, Wisconsin, (pop. 207), in what was once the 3 stanchion milking parlour of a 100-year-old barn.

​

Peter Wakefield Jackson is a potter with more than 35 years experience, interested in beautiful form, simple utility, the history of potters and pottery, and the ongoing struggle for viability in the marketplace for handmade artisan goods.

Peter has been joined by his wife, Megan, who retired after 25 years as a school social worker in Madison, Wisconsin.  Peter does all the throwing, and he and Megan work together on finishing, firing, packing and shipping.  Megan does photography of the finished pieces and is also in charge of the website.  They make a great team, and truly enjoy working together to bring handmade garden pottery into the homes of friends and customers.
