Event Details
The Purple Sage Potters Offer their Work for Sale Twice a year Purple Sage Pottery at 3 Mechanic Street in Merrimac, MA, opens its doors to the public for an Open Studio Sale. Twelve local potters will offer a variety of sculptural, decorative, and functional ware on Saturday, May 2nd, from 10-5, with a rain date of Sunday, May 3rd. After a particularly long New England winter, the Purple Sage potters are thrilled to be supporting the current trend of vibrant color in home décor. From functional tableware to whimsical birdhouses, and garden ornaments, color abounds! Paying careful attention to both form and function, the potters are creating pieces designed to enhance everyday experiences. They recognize the simple joy that comes from a favorite coffee mug that fits perfectly in your hand. In addition to the exploration of brighter colors, much of the pottery on display will also reflect the tradition of earth tones and neutral glazes that enhance any collection. The Open Studio Sale offers a unique opportunity to see an array of thoughtfully crafted functional art created here in the Merrimack Valley. Joining studio owner and founder Iris Minc on May 2nd, will be Purple Sage teachers Lisa Mistretta and Jenny Graf; League of New Hampshire Craftsman juried artist, Hiromi Sato; and Studio members Lucy Hutchinson, Judy Nevius, Karen Girard, Kathy Clark, Jodi Bevelaqua, Meg Wiley, Emily Samataro, and Darlene Beal.
