Have you ever heard of Dave the Potter? There is considerable mystery surrounding this Edgefield artist, but thanks to the former slave’s unique ability to read and write, we’ve been left with an amazing autobiography, scrawled on the shoulders and sides of his remaining jugs and vessels.
Thanks to DIHS Community Outreach Director Lee Ann Bain, DI School 8th graders are learning about Dave, complete with a demo by Jeff Neale from Middleton. Learn more about Dave the Potter at https://www.sciway.net/afam/dave-slave-potter.html
