At a special place in the northeastern headwaters of Lake Lanier, rushing water once turned a wheel to grind corn as moonshiners wheeled by on a narrow winding river road to escape the law. For the past 50 years, potters have thrown clay on wheels at The Mark of the Potter located on the Soque River in Habersham County. The store celebrated its halfcentury last month as a haven for potters and those who seek their wares. Story, page 59.
