Note: The New Orleans Art Pottery Company started in 1886 at 224 Barrone Street, and was founded by William Woodward. Joseph Meyer was hired to develop the ceramic facility and build a coal driven kiln while George Ohr assisted him in the ceramic classes. Many of the larger pots were molded both at the Art Pottery Company in New Orleans as well as at George Ohr's "Pot-Ohr-E" in Biloxi, Mississippi. Most of the students of the Art Pottery were women taking classes at Tulane Decoration Art League instituted by Ellsworth Woodward in 1885. The New Orleans Art Pottery Company lasted from 1886-1890. In 1890 it reorganized and became the New Orleans Art Pottery Club and eventually set the foundation for the formation of the Newcomb Art School and its pottery department.
