| Spirit Spins is a pottery business owned and operated by Terri Lantz. It is located just north of historic Havana, FL about 15 miles north of Tallahassee. I moved to Havana in October 2004 when my partner Ellie got a job in Tallahassee. We bought a home on 5 acres of some of the most beautiful rolling woods in northern Florida and remodeled an old guest house so I could use it as my pottery studio. |
My love of pottery began in the late 60's when I first visited Nashville, IN and watched the local potter work in
his shop. I was mesmerized as his hands formed the clay with such ease. A few years later I took a pottery
class at the local art school but I didn't have much success and working in the clay fell by the wayside as I
raised a family.
Ellie and I went to Hawaii for our 5th anniversary and spent some time working with the book "The Artist's
Way". I said something about pottery and Ellie said there is reverence in my voice whenever I mentioned it.
I vowed to take another class when I got home. I did. And it changed my life.
That was in 2003. Within a year I was working as a full-time potter. I opened Light N Up Art Co-op in 2004
and began teaching pottery classes in 2007. Today I teach, do some festivals, and sell my pottery in the
Big Bend area of northern Florida. Its all been a dream come true!
My pottery is available at Pecan Tree Antiques in Havana, Lily Pads in Grayton Beach, FL, and Bleecker
Street in Albany (Leesburg), GA.
