Pond Farm (also known as Pond Farm Workshops) was an American artists’ colony that began in the 1940s and, in one form or another, continued until 1985. It is located near the Russian River resort town of Guerneville, California, about north of San Francisco.

It includes two small residences and a historic barn repurposed as a pottery studio. Read more on Wikipedia
