OIP was started as a studio pottery in 1945 by Joe and Marclay Sherman. There are currently 22 potters who show their work at Orcas Island Pottery. Nine who still work and live on the island, and fourteen others who have worked here or are good friends of the owner, Syd Exton. Syd is the 3rd generation potter after her mother and grandmother who bought the place in 1953. Her sons, Aaron Hardy and Matt Haeuser also carry on the family tradition.
