Aldea Gallery at the corner of Yankie and Bullard streets held a Clay Festival opening to feature Kate Brown's pottery. Brown has brought some of her older tiles to hang on the wall, and she also had a table of Kintsugi pottery, which is a Japanese style of repairing broken pieces with gold dust paint. The sale of the Kintsugi pieces will benefit El Refugio Inc. women's shelter for victims of domestic abuse, she said.
