BRYAN EATON/Staff Photo. Nolan Salsky, 5, turns a piece of clay around using his fingers to move to clay outward as he makes a pinch pot at the Newburyport Montessori School. Local artist and potter Ann Healy was on hand to teach youngsters about the history and uses of pottery. After the works are completed, Lloyd Hamovit at 2 Rivers Ceramic Studio in Newbury will fire the pots for free.
