The Potter’s Wheel was the only creation of the Potters. The Potters were all young women in their late teens and early twenties: Vine Colby, Inez Dutro, Celia Harris, Grace Parrish, Williamina Parrish, Guida Richey, Caroline Risque, Petronelle Sombart, Sara Teasdale, and Edna Wahlert. Lillie Rose Ernst, a prominent figure in the St. Louis Public School system, was an important figure to the Potters and much of their work is dedicated to her. The Potter’s Wheel was discontinued after the completion of the third volume. Some of the women went on to become widely recognized for their talents. From November 1904 to October 1907, The Potter’s Wheel was issued once a month. A single issue of the The Potter’s Wheel was created and bound solely by hand. The magazine was at first issued at a standard 8" × 10" size. However, after the first volume of twelve issues was completed, the size was enlarged to 10" × 12" for the second and third volumes. The size change was not explained. The magazine itself consisted of original prose, poetry, design, drawing, photography, sculpture (by way of photograph), and plays. Along with these original works were interwoven famous quotations, mostly pertaining to friendship, which seem to crystallize the various works. The issues were originally accompanied by a small volume of criticism pages that allowed the artists to critique each other’s work. However, after the first volume, the criticism pages were discontinued. At first, the criticism pages were attached to the actual magazines but later were kept separate from the magazines.
