The original Sarah Campbell Blaffer Pottery Studio was designed by architect Richard Meier and dedicated in 1978. Jane Blaffer Owen commissioned it in honor of her mother. The dedication plaque at the studio reads, “As Sarah Campbell Blaffer believed that creative crafts deserve the instruction, support and honor accorded the fine arts, this studio for pottery is dedicated to this philosophy and to the quest for quality: the mainspring of her life.”

The original building suffered from structural problems and was demolished in 2002. Local builder Jeff Koester reconstructed the building, which serves as the home for New Harmony Clay Project, an RLB Foundation creative partnership project directed by ceramic artist and University of Southern Indiana Professor Emeritus, Lenny Dowhie.
