Exhibition Opening: Earth into Art—The Flowering of American Art Pottery

This exhibition provides a window onto key developments in American Art Pottery, including the contributions of Maria Longworth Nichols Storer (1849–1932), who founded Rookwood Pottery, and Mary Louise McLaughlin (1847–1939), an artist and author who promoted china painting as a profitable pursuit for women, and others. For the show, the Morse Museum has drawn from its extensive collection of pottery to show the shapes, glazes, themes, techniques, and finishing methods that were second to none in the world.
