Major changes have
been made this year to the Pottery Lovers Reunion.
| The effective length of the Reunion had been getting longer and longer, with buying and selling beginning the week before the official beginning of the Reunion. This year buying and selling will be restricted to the 8 day period of the Reunion, July 11-18, 2009. We’re better together, no need to choose between coming before the official Reunion or the Reunion itself if you are looking to buy pottery and can’t afford to take off for two weeks. Everybody, just plan on spending the week of July 11-18, 2009 in Zanesville, the pottery capitol of the world, for our annual gathering of pottery collectors and dealers to show, sell and buy American Art Pottery. The Ramada Zanesville (formally the Holiday Inn), at exit 160, off I-70 five miles east of Zanesville, is the host hotel and the center of activity, which spills over to the nearby Best Western and the Airwood lot. Collectors and dealers set up in their hotel rooms to show and sell pottery. Meet other collectors, dealers and authors of pottery books and learn more about your favorite pottery. Share your love of pottery with other enthusiasts and meet other people excited about pottery who can become lifelong friends. Attend major pottery auctions. And at the end of the week, attend the Pottery Lovers Show and Sale at the Ramada.

Mixer Party and Show & Tell Tuesday July 14th The Social event of the week. The Mixer Party is an excuse to get together as a group to see old friends, talk about our finds over the past year, enjoy refreshments and to show off some of our favorite pots. Each year Show and Tell has a theme. In past years some of the themes have been pottery with farm scenes, animals, birds, water themes, and Your Most Bizarre, to name a few. This year's theme is "Portraits". We know there are some truly great pottery items out there. This would be the time and place to show them off. Check out photos from past years Show
& Tell. Our theme last year was "Your Prized Possession"
and in 2006 it was "Outstanding flowers from the Zanesville potteries"

There is no open house this year but please stop by, enjoy the pottery and help support this fun and enjoyable museum. The museum has three major exhibit areas. First is the history of the National Road. Second is Zane Grey, the "Father of the Adult Western." The Zanesville author wrote more than 80 books. Finally, a central portion of the museum is devoted to Ohio art pottery. The museum has some wonderful examples of pottery made in the Zanesville area. Don't miss this one.
