Warm Stone Studio: 1998 - 2005 A dream took roots in 1998 when Rita started Warm Stone Studio in Nashua, New Hampshire. It grew into a successful pottery studio where local area potters could go and find a stimulating environment to create in clay. Clay House: 2005 - 2006
The plan was to serve northern Indiana County, Jefferson County, Punxsutawney, Indiana, DuBois, Smicksburg and the near Western PA area. Rita didn't want to wait for the new studio to be finished, so they purchased a two house on Rt 119, in Marchand, and turned the first floor into a gallery and small studio. It was a small space, but effective. It served the purpose to become know in the area before moving to the new studio 2 1/2 miles away.
