'Love you, Mom and Dad'
Sheri's parents live next door beyond a hedge of pines and are happy to help should we need to call on them for any of our guest's needs. We're also blessed to have very helpful neighbors on our private drive, one of which has been Pete's closest friend for the last few decades.
Prairie Hill really is a safe haven!
Sheri Hartman and Prairie Hill Pottery
Prairie Hill Pottery originated on the Prairie Hill Haven property in the summer of 2012. Pete gifted Sheri with a week at Adamah Art Studios in Dodgeville, WI. Then a Brent potter's wheel, and an electric kiln were added to the mix, resulting in the most fun Sheri has ever had.
After moving to Colorado in 2015 we began selling at local art fairs and have been honing our skills. Sheri loves to form vessels on the wheel, while Pete mixes the glazes and has bricks awaiting in WI near Prairie Hill Haven to build a wood fired kiln.
*Sheri shares her progress with friends and to the public on her personal Face Book page. Our sales platform for 2019 include several art fair venues in CO. There are always requests to start up her online store, and she will, right here on this site.

to request an email letting you know when we open our store.

Prairie Hill's 1000 square foot great room features a gourmet kitchen with curved hickory breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, dining area with a built in hutch and booth, window seats, large leather sectional, fireplace, and entertainment center.
Off of the great room is a 12 x 32 foot deck with a fire table and seating for eight. The cushions and four extra chairs are kept just inside the slider when not in use to avoid collecting water. The west facing deck overlooks the lined, aerated and stocked half-acre pond complete with deck, beach, life jackets, pool noodles, sand toys, campfire pit, fire wood and wagon to haul, a small plastic baby pool, fish food, and a pergola. There is a large lawn around the house as well as six foot wide mowed paths along the 25 acre property for you to enjoy.
The lower level of Prairie Hill also has a bonus family room with a wood stove, TV, comfortable seating and a large slider on the west side. You can lounge in a set of Cabella's reclining pattio chairs as you enjoy the western view of the pond and forests.
