Pierceton Art Gallery Has Grand OpeningPIERCETON - Pierceton Art Gallery and Ceramic Studio held its grand opening Saturday at 105 N. First St.
The business features an upscale art gallery in the front third of the building that will offer special painting displays and events. The gallery is managed by local artist Steve Creighton and features work by area artists Robert A. Hudson and Penny French-Deal, as well as Creighton's paintings.
Beyond the gallery is a ceramic studio with a large classroom instruction area housing six potters' wheels, wedging table, slab roller, extruder, booth style work benches and a large counter work area.
A glazing and firing room is located at the rear of the store.
The studio is 1,920 square feet.
Building owner Linda Dilling said she took over the building in November and immediately began renovations that included new walls and track lighting.
Dilling also specializes in overglaze painting of porcelain and tiles.
Woodcraft artist Jerry Krider, Columbia City, has pieces available for sale.
The studio is open Wednesday through Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
