Community Pottery Studio [gallery]

Crickets and cicadas- and the barely distant clash-cracking of skateboards- is the dominant hum near the Community Pottery Studio. You might be lucky enough to hear the laughing of little ones, occasionally backed by the low rumble of a diesel Village truck as it passes through the Bryan Center parking lot.

The pottery center has always seemed to me the hub of a community unto its own, potters being amicable people into sharing the craft with others. I remember thinking the tile-making workshops were really interesting, and their outcome is nothing short of impressive. I chose pieces that caught my eye, but if you happen by the remainder might surprise you.
