At last, a biography of Karl Martz and Becky Brown has been published!
And it is outstanding!
Clay Times Three is a new book by Kathy M. McKimmie, a free-lance author in Indianapolis, Indiana. She has researched three 20th century Brown County, Indiana potteries in considerable depth, including the various phases of the Karl Martz and Becky Brown potteries, as well as the Brown County and Brown County Hills potteries. She has done a wonderful job of weaving the lives of Karl and Becky into a well-documented, coherent and engaging story. Her careful research and thorough documentation are outstanding. I learned a few things I didn't know about my own parents when reading it! This is the first book to document any of these three potteries, and it includes 182 photographs, most in color.
