Open House and Pottery Demonstration

The Newtown Historical Society is hosting an Open House on Sunday, May 18th.

During the open house Reggie DeLarm,
of East Knoll Pottery will set up her potter’s wheel in our backyard.  Reggie will demonstrate the art of making
hand-thrown yellow ware pottery using historically correct clays, glazes,
designs and applications.  If the weather
does not cooperate, Reggie will be inside demonstrating Slip Trailing, which is
the application of lines to a clay surface using a fine-point dispenser.  The result can be a very creative and
beautiful piece.

The public is invited to visit and tour the building at 44 Main Street any
time between noon and 4pm. 
Admission is free; however, donations are welcomed and appreciated.  Our junior and senior docents will be
available to answer questions about the house and its history, as well as provide
guided tours by request.
