What's Going On At Panama Pottery?

Left: Joe The Plumber (lower right-hand corner) says let's check this place out!

Panama Pottery was founded in 1913 by Swedish immigrants who had been intrigued by pottery during a trip to Panama; thus the name "Panama Pottery".


Driving along 24th Street south of City College in Sacramento, both Joe The Plumber and I were intrigued by Panama Pottery (I had never really noticed it before).

Left: A co-worker with Adam Bradley works on wooden sculptures. Some of these recent sculptures will be displayed at the next Second Saturday, in July, at Tapa The World, at 21st and J Streets, in Sacramento.


Adam Bradley's studio was open. The chainsaws weren't out yet, but were promised!

The pottery yard was open too (June sale, 20% off, today and tomorrow). Many interesting works on display were by Susannah Kelly. Joe was particularly fond of a cat's face (seen in the last photo on the Web Page reached via the link above).
