The Post Library is pleased to present the pottery of Gerald Johnson, who grew up in Joplin.  He spent 34 years in the New York City art scene, then returned to his home town roots in 2001.  The exhibit features work Johnson created using the age-old Pueblo technique of coiling clay and hand-working it into smooth shapes.  He then applied geometric and abstract designs in a similar manner to that of the Pueblo artisans.
