Fall is Near!
OMG! Where has the year gone?
Thank you all for subscribing to my ‘blog’. It has been such a busy year I didn’t have time to write until now!
Here is what is happening this Fall (including a special make-your-own pottery event!):
October 7-8 I will teach a workshop at Sawtooth School for Visual Art in Winston-Salem, NC. There is still room to register! This is a demonstration workshop, not hands-on, so everyone is welcome to come and watch and learn.
October 20-23 Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands in Asheville, NC at the U.S. Cellular Center in downtown – This is where you will find me selling my beautiful pottery to all those folks in need of gifts, for themselves or others
November 4 – CLAY OLYMPICS!!! I won it once. Can I do it again?! Come watch me try!
November 5 – WNC Pottery Festival is THE BEST place to buy pottery! Come to Dillsboro, NC, enjoy the beautiful scenery and amazing talent!
November 12 – Southwestern Community College’s Ceramics Club will host the Heritage Arts Festival and I will be one of 2 Demonstrating artists! Come support local crafts and the ceramic students of Southwestern (some of my students will be exhibiting!)

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
Thanksgiving is over and the holiday season is upon us.
First, I want to announce my Etsy Sale going on through December 21. FREE SHIPPING on all domestic addresses. Use the Coupon Code: 2015HOLIDAYS when you check out.
Secondly, I want to THANK YOU for following my pottery progress!
Now for the BIG NEWS:
Did you see it? I was in several magazines over the last few months!!!
Most exciting was my article for Pottery Making Illustrated on how to make my oval jars. I was so thrilled when Holly Goring, editor, contacted me to ask if I would write an article. She had to work on me… but I finally got it done and she made it read and look AMAZING!
Then Melissa Reardon, Editor-in-Chief of WNC Magazine, contacted me for a small article on the ‘Last Page’. What fabulous press! Thank you, Melissa!!!! This is a beautiful magazine covering my home town and surrounding areas. Check out the lovely article and the wonderful image Silvia Ferrari-Palmer made of my pots.
And a local writer, Garrett Woodward of the Smoky Mountain News, contacted me for a story. This has been quite a season of GREAT PRESS for me and my business!!! (Thanks again to Silvia and her great photo!)
Lastly, this wonderful photo (boy do I owe Silvia!) was selected to be in a 2016 calendar of kitchen pots sold by the Potter’s Council. Get yours now!
