Turning Alaska's landscapes into pottery | INDIE ALASKA
What started as a fun, childhood hobby has now turned into a blossoming business for potter, Marta Elaine Zegzdryn. Her company, MEZ Pottery, can often be found at #festivals and fairs across Alaska where you can find her unique, sophisticated Alaskan designs. Marta says much of the inspiration for her #pottery comes from the beautiful, rugged landscape in which she lives.
