Wesleyan Potters350 South Main Street
Phileas calls home every day to talk to his family about all the wonderful sights he has visited in and around Middletown. Today, Phileas noted to his family that the Wesleyan Potters faculty show opened in the Gallery/Shop. He first stopped at the Pottery to tour the school and the studios. There he saw craftsmen with clay spinning on their wheels, students of all ages learning new crafts, and a room full of weaving looms. After the tour, Phileas visited the Gallery/Shop and enjoyed seeing all the beautiful work done by the Wesleyan Potters faculty. In the shop, he found one of the best selections of handmade gifts in the area, reminding him that he wants to bring unique gifts to his family upon his return home at the end of his trip. Happily, Phileas purchased a ceramic cup for his brother, Bartholomew, to have his afternoon tea. For Mom, Phileas found a hand woven tartan scarf in the pattern associated with her Scottish family, and for his sister, Emmaline, a silver necklace with a beautiful turquoise stone.
Opened in 1982, the Gallery/Shop exhibits and sells a constantly changing display of fine handcrafts by Wesleyan Potters members and especially talented outside craftspeople. The Wesleyan Potters Gallery Shop is open Wednesday to Friday 10 am – 6 pm and Saturdays 10 am – 4 pm and Sunday’s noon to 4. The Faculty show runs through October 4.
