点评:This is located just north of the intersection of 17 and 255. It is an old restored school building that has been converted into a museum. There is plenty of parking in front of the school. What a great display and gorgeous building. Much of the entrance has large glass windows allowing a lot of light into the building. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There is a short 10-minute Smithsonian film with many of the local artisans featured that describes the local methods that were used to make Appalachian pottery. The building houses lots of displays showing pottery workshops, a kiln model, and pottery uses in past areas. There is a large set of displays of pottery from various artists and timeframes. It is my understanding that many of the pieces in the “workshop” displays are real artwork and not re-creations with makes it all the more fascinating to look at. As a bonus, the building is adjacent to (and connected to) another set of gift shops and museums. You can also visit other buildings on the site. The entire visit was wonderful and well worth visiting. You could spend a fair amount of time as there is a lot of information on display here that tells the true story of pottery that was created and grew out of this area.
翻译:它位于 17 和 255 路交叉口以北。这是一座经过修复的旧校舍,现已改建为博物馆。学校前面有充足的停车位。多么精彩的展示和华丽的建筑啊。入口处的大部分地方都有大玻璃窗,可以让大量光线进入建筑物。工作人员非常友好和乐于助人。史密森尼博物馆有一部 10 分钟短片,以许多当地工匠为主角,描述了当地制作阿巴拉契亚陶器的方法。该建筑内有许多展品,展示陶器作坊、窑炉模型以及过去地区的陶器用途。这里展出了大量来自不同艺术家和不同时期的陶器。据我了解,“工作坊”中展示的许多作品都是真正的艺术品,而不是重新创作的作品,这使得它们看起来更加迷人。作为奖励,该建筑毗邻(并连接到)另一组礼品店和博物馆。您还可以参观该网站上的其他建筑物。整个参观过程非常精彩,非常值得参观。您可以花上相当长的时间,因为这里展示了很多信息,讲述了该地区创造和生长的陶器的真实故事。
