The ceramic work of Ada artist Andrew Steingass is now on view at the Ohio Northern University Elzay Gallery of Art through Friday, Dec. 16.
A studio, County Line Studio, is another of his works in development.
Steingass and a friend built the studio from the ground up, focusing on traditional and new.
Images of the construction phase are also on view during this exhibit. Steingass currently is an adjunct instructor of art at Ohio Northern Art & Design.
Gallery hours are 1–4:30 p.m. daily while school is in session.

The Columbus Zoo, or at least part of it, came to Ada Tuesday for a joint meeting of the Ada Rotary and Kiwanis service clubs at The Inn.
Fifty club members, their spouses, and children saw four cute, cuddle critters up close and personal.
Here, a one-year-old joey is petted, feeling surprisingly soft considering kangaroos have have one of the toughest hides. He's in a pouch (albeit a manmade one) because baby kangaroos feel more comfortable in a pouch since that's where they begin life.
