The Icon dropped in to the Bluffton Senior Citizens last week to watch an artist at work. The artist was Bruce Chesser, giving a demonstration on pottery. Behind Bruce was another artist at work. It's Herb Grismore, weaving rag rugs. He performs his art once or twice a week and has created rugs at the Center for the past three years. The next photo shows examples of his work.

This article comes from the Ada Historical Society and was originally posted on the Ada Icon.

Helping to maintain this melodious flow was David O. Betz, one of Ada leading citizens and director of the Northwestern Ohio School of Piano Tuning.
