Mark Nafziger has maintained Brush Creek Pottery at Sauder Village, a living history museum in Archbold, Ohio, since 1981. Intent on becoming a math teacher when he started at Goshen College in Indiana, Mark soon discovered clay, and graduated with dual math and art degrees. Working with stoneware (and sometimes porcelain), he enhances the surfaces of his pots with slip trailing and carving. His work has been featured in publications and exhibitions across the country.
