“’Making Splendid Things’: The Potter’s Wheel Online Archive” is a digital archive collection focused on the lives and works of the Potters, a women’s art collective that created a handmade, multimedia magazine. This group of early-20th century women writers, artists, and designers lived and worked in St. Louis, Missouri. This site aims to do three things: 1) preserve digital copies of fragile manuscripts, 2) facilitate the interdisciplinary study of women’s art, literature, and scholarship, and 3) provide a teaching resource for scholars and students of literature, cultural studies, art history, and beyond.
