Clay City: The Rise and Fall of Zanesville’s Pottery Industry
Decaying signs that read
Pottery Capital of the World. Vasehenge. Abandoned pottery factories. Zanesville used to be ripe with the culture of ceramics, and the remains of that period of history are still visible. So, the question remains: What happened to the pottery capital of the world?
In 1808 Samuel Sullivan began Zanesville’s clay industry with rough bowls, plates, and other dinnerware. Sullivan later went on to become the fourth Ohio State Treasurer from 1820-1823.
What brought the pottery industry to Zanesville were the local clays and the easy access to transportation due to the railroads and the Muskingum River.

Cambridge Students Given Glasses as part of Vision To Learn
CAMBRIDGE, OH – Students at Cambridge Primary School were delighted to try on and see clearly with their brand new glasses today. The glasses were provided through a unique collaboration between the Foundation for Appalachian Ohio, Ohio Optometric Foundation and nonprofit provider Vision To Learn, which together will use a mobile vision clinic to provide school-site vision care to thousands of students in Appalachian Ohio in the years to come.
An estimated 45,000 children in Southeastern Ohio go to school every day without the glasses they need to see the board, read a book, or participate in class. Through this collaboration, thousands of students attending Title I schools in districts throughout the region will be provided a vision screening, eye exam, and – if needed – a pair of glasses, all free of charge.
