Ceramics museum selling art calendars

EAST LIVERPOOL

The Museum of Ceramics is offering two new limited edition 2014 wall calendars: “Hans Hacker: Views” and “Lovely Lotus.”

Hans Hacker (1910-1994) was one of the tri-state area’s pre-eminent artists and was known for his prolificness in creating dinnerware decals. Lotus Ware porcelain, which was made in East Liverpool many years ago, is well represented in the museum’s collection.

Each calendar is $19.95. Call 330-386-6001 or 1-800-600-7180 to order. For information, go to TheMuseumOfCeramics.org.
