Hole Public Library</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">through November. Drawing December 5, 2012</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Five local potters annually celebrate the importance of the
Woods Hole Public Library in their lives with a gesture of generosity. For the
past eight years they have freely donated<span style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</span>their work for a raffle to benefit the Library.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The potters are Ann Newbury, Anne Halpin, Tesssa Morgan, Ron
Geering, and Hollis Engley, all loyal supporters and users of the Woods Hole
Library. In previous years, the potters have all donated similar items; this
year they have each chosen a special piece from their collections.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Tessa Morgan has contributed a triptych
of tiles with sea animals painted in a rich blue glaze and mounted in her
signature weathered board frame. Ron Geering has donated an elaborate mug and
saucer with whales rising from the sea, intricately drawn on the sides in his
traditional and nationally award-winning red-ware. <span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Ann
Newbury, instigator of this event, has brought in a set of four perfectly
matched bowls, dark, almost black, with a warm brick red interior. Her
workmanship and devotion to the beauty of <span style="mso-spacerun:
yes"> </span>practicality shines through these bowls. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Anne Halpin has donated a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>pot perfectly made with a matchng lid
elegantly glazed in a lovely blue on the outside and speckled white on the
inside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>Hollis has
contributed one of his rustic, almost masculine pieces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The pottery will be on view at the Library though the whole
month of November while raffle tickets will be sold, $2 each and $ 10 for 6. .
On December 1, the raffle moves to the Renaissance Fair in the Woods Hole
Community Hall, and the winning raffle tickets will finally be drawn at the
Library’s holiday party on Wednesday evening, December 5, from 5:30-7 PM.
Winners do not have to be in attendance as long as they have written their name
and phone number clearly on their raffle ticket.</p>
