A working replica of the sawmill where the California Gold Rush began, on the bank of the South Fork of the American River in Coloma, El Dorado County. On the morning of 24 January 1848, the carpenter James W. Marshall, building the mill for John Sutter, pulled a small piece of yellow metal from the tailrace and changed the next decade of the American West. The original mill was washed out by floods within a few years and dismantled for lumber; the replica was built in 1968 from Marshall's own drawings and contemporary sketches. The site is now Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park, open every day, with the original discovery site a short walk upstream.

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