This is Debbie Liberman's first Potter's Market. She was telling everyone how excited she was to be in the annual show featuring 12,000 square feet of hand-crafted bowls, sculptures, teapots, bird- houses, soap dispensers, and more. At the time, Liberman was exhibiting her ceramics in the Village Potters Guild annual Holiday Show in Plymouth. She started working with clay 20 years ago and has been a member of the guild (www. villagepottersguild.org) for 12 years. She'll exhibit tiles, baskets with beaded handles, flat trays, beads, buttons, and a few ornaments at the Potters Market. "The Potters Market has the potential for a large vol­ ume of sales and the oppor­ tunity for a lot of people who are interested in pottery to see my work," said Debbie Liberman of Southfield. Kathy Sandberg exhibits her wares every year at the market that literally offers ceramics for everyone. Like Liberman, Sandberg was invited to exhibit in the show- as a guest artist.

OUR VIEWS House's opening is a grand event Tomorrow is a red letter day for the Westland Historical Commission with the unveiling of the restored Octagon House. While there's still some work to be done, it's a tribute to the city's Historical Commission and to the many vol­ unteers who have given their time to restore the home. It has come a long way from sitting on the beams that brought it to the Westland Historical Village Park from a site on Warren Road more than five years ago. Preserving the city's history is a daunting task and a lot of people have given of their time and energy to repair and restore the Octagon House. Kudos to the construc­ tions trades students at the William D. Ford Career Technical Center who sided the house, to Ford Motor Co. employees Ron Bruce, Mike Hall and Mike Zebron who restored the home's semicircular front porch among other things and to Mike Sifter who plastered and paint­ ed most of the interior's walls. But the biggest kudos go to the Westland Historical Commission, especially Bill Tremper, who took on the job of completing the restoration. The commission hasn't wavered in its determination to We encourage residents get the house open to the public. to stop by the Octagon It has held numerous fund-rais­ ers to finance the repairs and House tomorrow has gotten help with donations afternoon to see an to move it along.
