Welcome to the Capitol Clay Arts World blog. Our goal: To bring expanded news and information to the West Virginia clay community. We'd also like to provide a window to the larger world and how potters are contributing to creating a better one. It seems appropriate our first posting will focus on a potter, a pottery student and a shared vision to make their community a better place to live.
Inspired by the vision of West Side Charleston potter Renee Margocee, Doug Minnerly, pastor of the Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church and a new pottery student in our Thursday morning pottery class, is pursuing development of a community garden on Price Street, where the church is located.
To this end, Doug invites you to attend an informational meeting on Sunday, March 8 at 3 p.m. at Grace Covenant Presbyterian Church, 805 Price Street, Charleston. John Porter of the Kanawha County office/WVU Extension Service will present a program on how to get a community garden started.
Improve your neighborhood and your nutrition while you lower your food bills. Not a bad proposition. And, if the garden goes forward, I've volunteered Mike (wife's perogative!) to create a fountain for the space. Here's one he installed in our back garden in Atlanta. I'd love to see one on Price Street soon. What are your thoughts on making the world a better place? Please, share them with us.
