Peeler Pottery Event at Putnam County Museum Saturday

June 22, 2007, Greencastle, Ind. - "The Putnam County Museum invites people who have collected Peeler pottery over the years to bring in examples to share with the community," notes the Terre Haute Tribune-Star in previewing a Saturday event. A 1949 graduate of DePauw, Richard E. Peeler was a member of the University's faculty for fourteen years and the Art Center is named in his honor. Tomorrow, from 1 to 3 p.m., "collectors can bring in Peeler pots, bowls, plates, sculptures, birdhouses, and more to be photographed. The museum also will accept photographs of collections ... These photographs will be displayed as part of the 'Richard & Marj Peeler: A Retrospective' exhibit through Sept. 29."

“This might be the first step in producing a photographic collection of Peeler works,” Warren Macy, museum vice president and organizer of the event, tells the newspaper.
