Main Street ArtSpace at Noon Whistle Pottery
In the summer of 2006 Noon Whistle Pottery started offering classes in a new facility called Main Street ArtSpace adjacent to the art gallery and gift shop . Response of our students and teachers, all pioneers of Main Street ArtSpace, has been overwhelmingly positive. This makes us even more excited to share our enthusiasm for art and creativity with a new round of classes for the community this fall.
