The semi-annual Clay Arts Guild is holding a pottery sale (as well as pottery demonstrations) through Sunday, April 29th, at the ceramic studio at 1313 Civic Drive in Civic Park (next to the Walnut Creek downtown library). Take a look at some of the pottery for sale:

The artists are local and normally use the space to make pottery when not displaying their artwork. When I dropped by on Saturday someone was doing a pottery demonstration which was fun to see, and I thought the overall quality was really high. So if you plan on checking out the last day of the sidewalk sale in downtown Walnut Creek, I recommend dropping by this pottery sale in Civic Park, a short walk away.

The groundbreaking musical with its bold rock score is a universal coming of age story that tells the timeless story of teenage self-discovery and budding sexuality as seen through the eyes of three teenagers. Spring Awakening celebrates an unforgettable journey from youth to adulthood with a power, a poignancy and a passion you will never forget.
