Saturday’s drenching rain notwithstanding, playing in mud just got easier in Carson City with the opening of Ogres-Holm Pottery in the Carson Mall.
The pottery studio, learning center and gallery cut the ribbon Saturday at 1308 South Carson Street inside the Carson Mall.
Merrill and Jo Moore, along with their son, Lucas Lamont, celebrated Ogres-Holm Pottery’s grand opening with Carson City Supervisor Karen Abowd, Carson City Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Ronni Hannaman, and Carson City Arts and Culture Coordinator Mark Salinas attending.
Lamont will be acting store manager, Merrill Moore said.
Ogres-Holm Pottery will focus on teaching classes on clay throwing and pottery creation, as well as providing a comfortable, public space for potters and clay artists to practice their craft, Moore said.
Memberships to the studio are available, he said.

Ogres-Holm Pottery is now open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and closed Sunday.
Evening and weekend workshops and classes are already on the schedule, Moore said. For more information, call the studio at 775-461-3616 email the Moores at ogresholmpottery@gmail.com.
