We are striving to inspire a new generation Folk Art & Folklife champions by:

A Family Tradition.
We believe that traditions begin with the family, the kind of family that doesn’t care if you are related by blood, marriage, or dear friendship. At the heart of the Foltz Folklife Foundation is a tradition of this kind of family.
The Foltz Pottery family extends through the generations of people who have come to the Foltz Pottery Shop to spend time with old friends, out-buy rival collectors, see the latest wares while having lunch, or even visit the many cats, dogs, or other barnyard critters. However, at the heart of it, are the two people we all love the most, Ned & Gwen Foltz.
