Mad Potter brings season to a close
As the season winds down at the Pebble Gallery at Featherstone Center for the Arts, it will not go out quietly. The final show is a solo show of the fanciful, whimsical ceramic and driftwood figures of sculptor Bill O’Callaghan. Known as to many as the Mad Potter, Mr. O’Callaghan’s witty and wonderfully crafted creations consistantly provoke smiles and comments. Join the party at the opening reception tonight, Thursday, Sept. 22, from 4 to 6 pm. The show continues through Sunday, Sept. 25. The Pebble Gallery is open from 12 noon to 4 pm daily.
