Her pottery is displayed and sold locally at Rockmart Cultural Arts Center gift shop and at the Treasure Hunt Antique Mall in Powder Springs. She transforms red clay from Gillsville, GA, into unique works of art; each with their own personality. René loves working on the wheel. She adds faces and characters to many of her special pieces. René Hardy is a known potter in Georgia, USA, where she continues her work to this day. She throws pottery into Facebook Jugs, vases, jugs, and other folk art pieces. René Hardy is an artist known for creating whimsical pottery. One of her pieces is a “Whimsical Cat Face Jug” made in 2018. Sometimes known as "ugly or grotesque jugs", Face Jugs were thought to have begun in Edgefield county, South Carolina, by African slaves who worked on the plantations as potters. This can be attributed to the downturn in profit for the white potters at that time from the everyday items such as churns and storage jars. In my opinion this is an unusually beautiful pinched vase. It is a great contemporary piece to add to any collection. Purchased at a cooperative antique mall in rural Georgia northwest of Atlanta. We are ship all items in bubble wrap inside a corrugated box.
