Halloween has come and gone, and the holidays are on the horizon. We're savoring this fleeting stretch of autumn and all the color, curiosity, and ceremony it brings.
Todd has been busy creating an abundance of new terracotta pieces—housing a delectable assortment of tropical house plants.
You'll find his latest work at Night on the Sun, our new storefront in Cairo, NY. Born from the same creative spirit as Hort & Pott, yet distinct with identity and purpose.

the Calling
01
what instigateS A QUEST?
We began the hunt for a suitable commercial property when the need to divide our private and public life became evident.
At Arkwood - our property + creative studios, we hosted ‘openings,' inviting visitors from near and far to visit, experience and take part of Hort & Pott.
It began to feel limiting, small, inaccessible to a growing audience. We couldn't offer customers the best experience. Lines became too blurred between our private and studio life: it was time to grow once again…

The first sign, 2023

With the daunting task of real estate shopping underway, we saw a variety of buildings, all unsuitable - until Todd suggested we reach out to the old for sale by owner sign perched on the rocky edge of a neglected greenhouse structure in Cairo, NY.

Interior pictures as found.

Attached to the main structure were 3 hoophouses, possibilities imagined..Inside: a vast scale, incredible natural light and intriguing sight lines… interests peaked..If anyone was going to assume stewardship over a former nursery, why not us?
Image item

Strewn about were completely derelict hoophouses, mangled and choked by years of overgrowth, deteriorated wiring, a thorny maze of nail ridden rotted benches…

Night on the Sun embraces the ritual of discovery through garden ornamentation, botanicals, sculptural objects & uncommon goods - all brought together with intention.
In the coming months we will share progress as this new space takes shape in Cairo, new york.

all of the pieces we've been collecting and creating will debut at night on the sun .. in leiu of an online collection this year. we look forward to welcoming you.
We are so grateful for the community that has grown around Hort & Pott over the years. If you’d like to continue the journey with us into this new venture—and be among the first to see what’s taking shape—please join our Night on the sun mailing list by visiting the link.
Until then, Hort & Pott is staying put on Arkwood Knoll, continuing as an ever-evolving ceramic and botanical studio. We will carry on as a place of making, gathering, and seasonal expression in the studio and gardens.
