ARTS AND CRAFTS CERAMICS Photographs of PMSS Pottery
In 2017 photographs were made of all the ceramics remaining at Pine Mountain Settlement School following the 1960s-1970s pottery initiative. The pottery was then wrapped in tissue paper and placed in archival boxes for storage. This is a record of the boxed items. Multiple images were taken and items are repeated in many photographs.
