Kandy Gibson of Gardenview Pottery and Grafton branch manager Jennifer Mantooth with some of Gibson’s work.

The Grafton branch’s Artist of the Month for June is Gardenview Pottery. Owner Kandy Gibson describes herself as a “utilitarian potter” who aims to create pieces that are unique and visually attractive, “but also useful in everyday life.” She makes both wheel-thrown and hand-built pieces, and tries to give each piece its own individual twist. Her pottery will be on display in the branch’s Stone House Gallery all month, and all of it is available for purchase.
