Darn Pottery

Their story

"​Most of the hedgehogs you meet nowadays are of Scots-Irish descent, and the makers of Darn Pottery can easily trace their ancestry all the way back to Laird Darnit O’Shane McKenzie, the notorious pirate, raconteur, and illustrator of children’s books. Darnit started Darn Pottery in 1674 after a certain incident involving Ponce DeLeon required his temporary but immediate removal from the high seas and public life. Returning to his hide-out in the Cherokee lands of the Blue Ridge Mountains, he dug up some of his buried treasure and set out to make a better jug, a matter that had been vexing him for years. Using all the alchemy training at his disposal, Darnit eventually succeeded in making a perfectly leak-proof jug that carried not only moonshine, but also secret revolutionary messages right under the noses of the British – thus eventually helping the colonists throw off the yoke of empire." Visit Darn Pottery
