Nancy Patterson-Lamb is known for creating functional pottery. Lamb was the principal artist and head designer of Iron Mountain Stoneware. She was responsible for creating at least 12 different lines of pottery over the course of 27 years in business.
Early works were especially influenced by modernist Scandinavian ceramics principals; later works explore a more painterly approach to the ceramic surface. Patterson-Lamb, created much of the work herself. She also employed up to 15 people at Iron Mountain's operation. Signature forms revolve around a standard dinnerware set.
