BEAUTIFUL PAINTED CHINA ON DISPLAY

After the 1876 Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, China painting became the pasttime of thousands of women throughout the country.





White China blanks were purchased, paints were applied, and the pieces were fired in small gas fired kilns.





The partial and completed pieces on display at The Green Free Library through the end of November were painted by three women from Knoxville between 1916 and 1930. Stop in soon and see these beautiful works of art. Maybe your relative painted some, or you are lucky enough to own a piece of your own.

PICTURES FROM THE FRIENDS ANNUAL MEETING

Please enjoy these photos from The Friend's of The Green Free Library's annual meeting. The guest speaker was Mr. Ronald J. Butler (library board member & President and Chief Executive Officer of Laurel Health Services). Mr. Butler spoke about his trip to India.
