History
The Maverick Potter opened in May of 2008 by owners Mark Rittmann and his wife Suzanne. Call it what you will, a leap of faith or burning desire to follow the pottery tradition, Mark left a 15 year career in the beer business to open up the Maverick Potter. Now in its fifth year of operation and our third location in Salida our business has grown. We now offer classes and workshops in clay and a fantastic variety of potters.
