Laura Druckrey’s Pottery in the Glass Case Gallery

Spring Green Community Library 230 E. Monroe St., Spring Green

Watch for Laura Druckrey’s pottery in the Glass Case Gallery throughout the month of July. Laura tells about herself and her work, “I discovered my passion for pottery as a sophomore while attending Wisconsin Lutheran High School in the city where I was born and raised: Milwaukee. That passion continued through college, where I pursued ceramics as an independent minor and earned degrees in Early Childhood Education and Spanish. After graduation, I began working in Milwaukee Public Schools while earning a third teaching license, this one in Bilingual Education. Teaching and studying left little time for the wheel, but I never lost my love for it.
