LOCAL POTTERY ARTIST SHOW & SALE<br />
Local Artists Draw You into Their World<br />
Purple Sage Pottery Annual Fall Open House and Sale. This has<br />
been a popular event for many years. There will be an abundance<br />
of decorative and functional pottery and sculpture for sale made<br />
by thirteen local clay artists.<br />
Discover this humble art studio with kiln tucked just off route <strong>11</strong>0 in<br />
downtown Merrimac where creations from multiple artists will be on<br />
display for sale, each with distinct styles and personalities, perfect for daily use. Attending a Purple<br />
Sage Pottery open house and sale is a wonderful and memorable experience.<br />
It’s hard to decide whether most of the items on display are more art or more housewares. While<br />
some pottery items serve only an ornamental function, most have elements of both. A few comments<br />
Greg Der Bogosian<br />
Town Common<br />
from past visitors are: ‘’I will never again be satisfied by bringing out my old commercial dishes at<br />
mealtime’’, and ‘’there is something special about a handmade creation<br />
that carries extra life and personality with it.’’<br />
There will be a kiln opening on Saturday morning, demonstrations throughout<br />
the show and light refreshments. Perfect for children and all ages alike.<br />
The studio is located at 3 Mechanic Street in Merrimac, MA and will be open<br />
to the public from 10am to 5pm Saturday, November 12th, and from 12pm<br />
