Putnam County Museum asks public to share examples of pottery

The Putnam County Museum invites people who have collected Peeler pottery over the years to bring in examples to share with the community. From 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, collectors can bring in Peeler pots, bowls, plates, sculptures, birdhouses, and more to be photographed. The museum also will accept photographs of collections. Scott Cooper, a local potter who has worked with Marj Peeler in the past, will photograph pottery brought to the museum. 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," said Warren Macy, museum vice president and organizer of the event. "Scott Cooper has been generous with his time and will also have some of his work available during the party." Macy has a large Peeler collection himself.
