Founded in 1926, Camden Art Tile and Pottery Company was the third and last producer of Art Pottery in Arkansas. By the end of its first year, its name had changed to Camark to include both the city of Camden (Ouachita County) and the state of Arkansas. Camark Pottery eventually became one of Camden’s best-known industries and was known nationwide.

Several noted artists worked with Camark. Among them was Boris Trifonoff of Perm, Russia, a noted glazer and mold maker. Frank Long of Tyler, Texas, was the company’s only known handthrower.

At one time, Camark Pottery was the best-known industry in Camden. This viable pottery outlived many of its predecessors. Pieces of Camark pottery have remained very collectible and can be found in museums. Camark provided a lasting contribution to the history of decorative arts and to the history of Art Pottery in Arkansas.(source: encyclopediaofarkansas.net)
