This week is Blowing Rock Art and History Museum's first "THIRD THURSDAY " of 2011. The season kicks off with "Pottery Traditions in the Mountains" with Janet Bolick Calhoun April 21 at 4 PM in the BRAHM office, currently located upstairs at the Martin House 1098 Main Street in Blowing Rock NC. A reception and refreshments will follow the opening.
Janet Bolick Calhoun is a sixth-generation potter and owner of Traditions Pottery and granddaughter
of well-known Seagrove potter M.L. Owens. Janet will discuss the role her family has had in the history
of pottery as both a highly collectible and utilitarian craft.
May 11 BRAHM is taking a group outing to see the Robert Henri exhibit at the MINT MUSEUM-UPTOWN in Charlotte. The deadline to sign up for the trip is May 4 and total cost is $75 for travel, admission to the exhibit, a special tour by the curator and lunch at the Mint's on-site restaurant, Halcyon.
