Potter: The Potters Cooperative
BiographyThe Potters Cooperative (aka TPC) was started by a group of disgruntled potters who had been locked out of their potteries after trying to form a Pottery Workers Union. The facility operated from 1882 to 1925. The facility used was at the Dresden Works which accounts for the number of pieces marked with Dresden's backstamp. H. A. McNicol (see McNicol, Burton and D. E. McNicol) became President when the other potters returned to their original works.
