Placerville sits on US Highway 50 in the Sierra foothills, the seat of El Dorado County and the geographic centre of Mother Lode country. The first settlement here was called Dry Diggings in the summer of 1848. By early 1849 it was Hangtown, after a stretch of vigilante justice on the oak at Main and Coloma. The town was renamed Placerville in 1854, as the placer gold worked from the streambeds began to play out. The Bell Tower at Main and Bedford has stood since 1865, the original fire alarm of the new town. Sutter's Mill at Coloma — where James Marshall found gold in January 1848 — is eight miles north along the South Fork of the American.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
