The Columbus Dispatch
Although it s not possible to meet our favorite authors in-person right now, there are virtual meetings taking place each week. In some respects, the online sessions are even better: You don t have to get dressed up and leave the house.
Here s what is in store virtually this week:
•
Margaret Peterson Haddix: The Columbus-based author of novels for middle-school readers and young adults will launch her new novel during a virtual appearance at 7 p.m. Tuesday,presented by Cover to Cover Books for Young Readers. “Greystone Secrets #3: The Messengers,” geared to ages 8 to 12, is the conclusion of the series about the Greystones and their doubles, the Gustanos, who must team up to save an alternate world.

Just about everyone needs a coffee cup, a bowl or a plate for food. Why not have one of these pieces that is artistic, unusual and unique?
The exhibit “Functional Ceramics 2021” at the Ohio Craft Museum showcases nearly 90 pieces by 16 national and international artists. Their platters, bowls, jars, mugs and vases are handsome, often surprising and beautifully crafted. Each of the 16 artists from throughout the United States and Canada is represented with five or six pieces that are singularly individualistic but complementary as a set.
The annual exhibit is co-presented by the Ohio Designer Craftsmen (which operates the Craft Museum) and the Wayne Center for the Arts in Wooster, where the exhibit normally takes place. This year, because of the pandemic, “Functional Ceramics” moved to the Ohio Craft Museum where it can be seen in person or online.
