The Lee Dam Center for Fine Art is open today from 12–3 p.m., and Eric Stearns’ work is the kind you need to see up close. His pieces are fired fast, pulled from the kiln while they’re still glowing hot and finished in smoke so the surface comes out with bold dark marks and crackle lines that can’t be repeated. No two turn out the same.

Stearns builds his forms around pattern and structure, then lets heat, smoke and cooling reveal the fractures, tension and connection in the finished piece. It’s beautiful work.

Stop by to see it in person.

Marshall County at work.

Armour Creamery, North 6th Street, April 1943—World War II–era workers keeping production moving. We’ve paired historic photographs like this side-by-side with current images from local manufacturers to show the throughline of skill and precision.

The Art of Manufacturing is open today, 4–6 p.m., at the art center.

Come see the then-and-now of how things get done.

From shop floor to fine art. The Art of Manufacturing pairs contemporary photographs by Brad Romano and Tom Parker with archival images from our factories’ early days—shop crews and the machines that built this place. Side by side, you see the presses and problem-solving that define our work—and how that pride carries across generations.

Open today, 4–6 p.m., at the Lee Dam Center for Fine Art.

Marysville once rolled millions of ci**rs a year.

See the story inside The Art of Manufacturing today, 12–3 p.m., at the Lee Dam Center for Fine Art.

On view: a 1920 interior of the Pusch Cigar Factory—with Effie Shawn, Marie Nester, Ivy Black and Gertrude Steinbach Kienlen on the line—and the rise of Charles F. Pusch from hand-rolling to one of Kansas’s largest cigar operations.

You’ll also see current photographs from inside Landoll Company, capturing the craft at work in Marysville today.

More than a half-dozen factories called Marysville home before ci******es changed the market in the 1920s.

Doors open 12–3—come take a look.
