DENTON COUNTY POTTERIES

Natasha Adkins-Bugg (career services) will discuss “Denton County Potteries” on Aug. 13 at 12:15 p.m. in the Commissioners Courtroom, 2nd floor of the Denton County Courthouse-on-the Square, 110 W. Hickory.

During the late 1800s, twelve potteries operated in Denton County, producing functional and utilitarian wares. Ms. Adkins-Bugg curated and installed a permanent exhibit about these potteries at the Courthouse-on-the-Square Museum. Her talk will include stories and images of these potteries and the exhibit will be available for viewing.

All Courthouse Museum exhibits and lectures are free and open to the public.
