VCPG's Potter Gallery is featuring Francisco Magdaleno their first featured artist since opening the pottery showcase in July of 2010.

Francisco Magdaleno is a local artist that creates very strong, beautiful sculptures mostly from terra cotta clay. These are coil built by hand, a very timely method that joins its maker to the creation. Magdaleno's use of oxides and his turquoise treatment of glazes give his sculptures a very primitive look and feel. Collectors are taken back to a romanticized time in Mexico's history before the Spanish came and the indigenous people lived according to their individual cultures. Artist reception to be announced in January.

Gallery open everyday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. includes 20 local ceramic artists.
