Leelanau resident April McLaren showed off her pottery at the Heartwood Forest Farm 2024 Herb Fest Saturday. Along with making pottery, she has a unique background that has led her all over the world and to the Leelanau Peninsula. McLaren has a blossoming pottery business from her Leelanau farm.
“I had taken a couple of pottery classes and really liked it. But then when COVID hit, my husband was like, ‘Let’s build a studio in the barn,’” McLaren said. “He built me this amazing studio. It now has my kiln, my wheel, and all my clay and everything there.”
McLaren finds this as a preferred creative outlet for her.
