FROM THE BAUHAUS TO POND FARM

Marguerite: From the Bauhaus to Pond Farm is centered around the story of Pond Farm, the school Marguerite operated from a remote location above Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve.

Her students included famed sculptors like Robert Arneson, who described Marguerite as “the grande dame of potters.”
