Pig Pen Pottery is a working pottery studio in Great Falls, Virginia. It is located on Hidden Springs Farm, a pre-revolutionary farmstead, formerly known as “Montpelier of Fairfax”, and before that as “Mount Pleasant.”

    The studio is on the first floor of a house known as “Orchard House.”  Built in 1939, Orchard House is a cinder block replica of a Jamestown House.  At one time this was the family gathering place for Hidden Springs Farm. There is a large fireplace which is kept burning most of the winter months.

    In addition to Pig Pen Pottery, there are chickens, horses, dogs and cats at Hidden Springs Farm.
