Jenev becomes ERA Industries when the Ackermans form a partnership with Jerome’s high school classmate, architect Sherrill Broudy. Several years later the Ackermans buy Broudy out but keep the company name.
Evelyn designs a two-story mosaic mural, Fantasy Landscape, for the exterior of an apartment building on Kiowa Avenue in West Los Angeles. It is registered with the Los Angeles Mural Conservancy.
During this time, the Ackermans associate with fellow potters Peter Voulkos, Otto and Vivika Heino, and Laura Andreson. They attend a meeting of the American Ceramic Society, design division, and become members of the American Craftsman Council.
