Sixth Street Ocarina
Chris Heuer and Amy Lake’s two pottery sites in Columbia, Missouri, and the copies the museum keeps of both.
A note from the museum
This page is the museum’s account of two websites it has preserved. It is not by the people who made them, and nothing from them is republished here.
Chris Heuer and Amy Lake made pottery, and ocarinas, in Columbia, Missouri. They had two websites rather than one: sixthstreetocarina.com for the instruments and sixthstreetpottery.com for the rest of the work. Both are gone. Heuer stopped making around the beginning of the pandemic.
The pair of sites is worth a sentence of its own, because it is a trap this museum nearly fell into. A first search found only the pottery address, the ocarina one having been guessed in the plural. Makers of this generation frequently registered a domain in two or three forms and built on only one of them, and the one they built on is not always the one that sounds right. Both were checked by hand against the Internet Archive’s index before either was called complete.

Saved from the Internet Archive in September 2026. Its captures of the two sites run from 2001 to 2026 across about 480 days.
Not every address the Archive lists can actually be served — it indexes more captures than it can return — so the copy is short of the full index by some sixty files, and those are noted rather than quietly dropped.
Rights, and what is published
Nothing. Preserving something and publishing it are different acts, and the museum will do the first without the second.
Chris Heuer is living, which makes this simple: he is the person to ask, and the museum has not yet asked him. Until he says otherwise the copy stays private — held so that the work survives the hosting, not so that it can be reposted.
If this is your work, and you would like it published here, kept privately, corrected, or deleted, please write to theocarinamuseum@gmail.com. All four are answers the museum will act on.
