I took a ceramic class with Frank Creech. And the funny thing was, Tyler, my son, had Mrs. Creech for his 5th grade teacher.

Frank was a good teacher and I learned a lot for the little time I had class with him. I also learned that he didn’t like it when you brushed on the glaze instead of globing it, or pouring it on. He was frustrated with me a few times for brushing it on thin. I still haven’t gotten the knack of applying glaze and I think of Frank every-time I apply it to a piece.

But if you are local to the area of Johnston County NC, they are offering raffle tickets, donation $1, for a $150 gas card. All proceeds go towards the Frank Creech Art Gallery Fundraiser.

CVA’s November art exhibit and reception will feature John Farr of Clayton and Helen Crouse of Raleigh.

The exhibit at The Clayton Center, 111 E. Second St., will run Nov. 3-28. We will host a reception for John and Helen on Thursday, Nov. 6, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the lobby of the center. We hope you can join us in honoring them and viewing their work.

Both the exhibit and reception are free and open to the public. Dress is casual, and light refreshments will be served — cookies, fruit, cheese, wine, punch. If you have friends who might be interested in this event, please invite them to come, too.
