Tiffany Hyland and John Thies, owners of Manabigama Pottery Center in Bowling Green, are seen
in the center’s work spaces Monday February 5, 2014. The 4,000 sq. ft. facility houses pieces by Hyland
and Thies in addition to other artists and includes two manabigama wood kilns which can reach up to
2400F during firing. The center offers pottery classes once a week, workshops for wood firing and
manabigama kiln building on request, and has a spring and winter sale annually. In addition, the center
offers kiln space for potters who may not have the facilities to house a wood kiln. Hyland and Thies
also offer services to build manabigama kilns on site. (Photos: Enoch Wu/Sentinel-Tribune) SEE MORE
