Georgia Southern University graduate student Annamarie Kistler has worked meticulously to convey the stories of folk potters in the region through her historical exhibit, "Common Clay." The dual exhibit, on display through March 31 at both the Southern Folk Art Gallery in the university's Center for Art & Theatre, as well as the Averitt Center for the Art's Legends Gallery, serves as a tribute to the folk potters' long, unbroken devotion to the craft. "Southern folk pottery owes its survival to the potters' desire to preserve a traditional way of life in which pottery making was fully integrated," Kistler said.
