Jim McDowell Pottery Sale/Fundraiser



Saturday, November 14
11 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Sixth Presbyterian Church
Squirrel Hill, Pittsburgh PA
(Murray Avenue entrance)

Jim McDowell is again sharing his gift through a sale of his pottery this Saturday, November 14th. 40% of all sales will go toward Pittsburgh Presbytery's Lazarus Fund.

Jim and his wife Jan Fisher are members of Sixth. He has been a studio potter for more than 30 years and is well represented in museums and galleries across the country. While young Colin, above, holds one of Jim's bowls, Jim is perhaps best known for his face jugs, which he makes to "pay homage to [his] ancestors, those who survived the Middle Passage."
