Waylande Gregory Art on Display at Warren Library

Don't miss the some of the art work of Waylande Gregory, currently on display at the Warren Township Library.

Waylande Gregory, who lived and worked in Warren Township from 1939 until his death in 1971, created a large and diversified body of work. His largest and most famous piece, the monumental ceramic sculpture "Fountain of the Atom," was commissioned for the 1939 World's Fair in New York.

Early in his career, Gregory was the chief designer and lead sculptor at Cowan Pottery in Ohio. In the 1940s, he produced limited edition decorative wares that were sold in exclusive stores. He established a studio and built a huge kiln at his residence on Mountain Trail, drawn to this isolated mountain top location because of the local clay.
