PEP Potters return to Old Town
Posted: March 12, 2011 – 8:59pm
The PEP Potters will be displaying and selling their handcrafted pottery at the kickoff of the spring Famers Market of Bluffton from 2 to 7 p.m. Thursday on Calhoun Street in Bluffton.
Visitors to the Farmers Market will be able to talk with the PEP Potters and learn how they made their bowls and chose the colors for each bowl. Each piece of pottery is made by an adult with intellectual and developmental disabilities from southern Beaufort County.
The PEP Potters get paid from the proceeds of the pottery sales and a portion also helps underwrite the pottery program in which they participate.
The PEP Pottery Program was begun by a grant from the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry.
There are currently six potters in the PEP Pottery Program. The pottery costs between $6-$15. For more information on PEP Pottery, contact Harold Watson at 681-8413 or harold.watson@pephhi.org
