From a distance it looked like a BBQ at Manley Art Center - but no, it's Maryjane Carlson and the Mudslingers "smoking pots" again.
In the Manley classroom the Mudslingers demonstrated how they prepare the pots, and outdoors they "smoked" them.
The Pottery Group meets Wednesday afternoons from 2 to 5 and Saturdays from 2 to 5 (or 12 to 3 on the second Saturday of the month because of Art Walk). Lessons are available for anyone who wants to learn or refresh their knowledge. Handbuilding techniques are used to create a wide variety of work. Wheels are not available due to space limitations, but Manley Arts Center has a kiln and there is some clay available for purchase. Contact Maryjane for more information: 541-469-4067.

Elmo is an Academy Award wining producer, director, editor, and writer who at the age of 98 is still writing and lecturing.
