Meet The Makers: Jason
At The Old Mill, we believe tradition isn’t something you look at, it’s something you live. And for our makers, each day is a chance to carry forward the time-tested skills that define us. We call it Mill Made, a way of making things with heart, by hand, and with a deep respect for where we come from.
Whether it’s turning grains into grits, clay into dinnerware, or fresh-picked fruit into jam, our makers transform the ordinary into the unforgettable. We’re proud to introduce you to the people behind the craft, those who put soul into every scoop, slice, and sip.
Meet Jason, Potter
Jason is steady at the wheel, his hands moving in rhythm with the clay. At Pigeon River Pottery, he turns Tennessee earth into timeless dinnerware, giving shape to the pieces that fill our tables and homes.
There’s a calm confidence to his craft. With every pull, Jason coaxes clay tall and wide, finding balance in the spin. What he creates is meant to be touched, used, and treasured, just as much for its function as for its form.
For Jason, pottery isn’t just about making something beautiful. It’s about making something useful, something someone will hold every day. A mug that feels just right in your hand. A plate that holds a home-cooked meal.
His work reminds us that tradition isn’t about the past, it’s about how we carry it forward into today.
Jason is one of many whose hands shape what we do and who we are. Each maker at The Old Mill brings with them not only skill, but also soul, a commitment to keeping traditions alive and well in our community.
