AT WHEEL: Mrs. Alice Mulchahey's pot is almost ready to come off the potter's wheel. After the clay is kneaded to remove air bubbles, it is "thrown" on the wheel in a ball, and after making a central cylinder, the shape of the piece is formed by hand while the potter's foot keeps the wheel going around in a treadle action. After the piece is dried for a while it is placed upside down on the wheel and the foot (base) is formed. The piece is then ready to be bisque-fired in the kiln. Mrs. Mulchahey is secretary of the Potters' Guild.

READY FOR KILN: Mrs. William A. Lewis, director of the Potters' Guild, is shown removing pieces from the stacking carts which have been glazed and are now ready for their second firing. After the pots or pieces of sculpture are bisque-fired, glazes are sprayed or painted on and they are ready for firing at a different temperature. The local guild boasts a kiln as large as most college art departments.

FINISHED PRODUCTS: Mrs. Stuart Thayer, treasurer of the Potters' Guild, admires a finished piece of pottery from the display area in the guild's new headquarters located at 201 Hill St. The guild's annual spring sale will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday at the new location. Proceeds from sales in other years, along with donations, enabled the guild to move from the former site in the 600 block of E. William St. to its more spacious quarters which were remodeled by members.
