Jars of clay

Those looking to avoid mainstream retail this season may find economical and useful gifts at Potters Place, where local artisans will be showing off their creations as part of a holiday sale this weekend. There will be plates, bowls, vases, and all things clay. This piece is one of Helayne Ramirez's "dancing ladies." It's not useful, but it's certainly decorative. Tonight from 5:30 to 9, tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Potters Place, 127B Old West St., Walpole, 508-668-0363. www.pottersplace.info
