The season winds down, shows are over and snow is here. Time to work on new colors and new items for next year.

In the meantime, Doe Ridge Pottery in Boone still has a large selection of work for Christmas shopping. New work will be introduced there as well.

Coming in July

MUD ON THE MOUNTAIN 2011

Don't miss the Mud on the Mountain Pottery Show, July 9 from 10 AM to 6 PM on Artists Alley, south of Blowing Rock. The Muddy Mountain Girls will be back and this year, Bob Meier from Doe Ridge Pottery in Boone will be the guest artist.

Trees are gone and birds flew the coop

The trees sold fast and, having nowhere to go, the squnk birds migrated home with the customers as well.

More Mud on the Mountain and Artists Alley

Both shows were a big success for everyone involved. If you aren't in these pictures, you should have been. Everyone had a great time!

They were sold out by 1 PM, but there will be more for the Artists Alley Show--these are in progress and there are more coming out of the kilns

Mud on the Mountain a Success

After a rainy start for set up on Friday night, the day of the show was sunny and beautiful. Everyone had fun--some critters made new friends (or maybe he just wanted to clean Isabelle's face). The Chargers and Rechargers Hiking Club came by after their Saturday hike, the kids sold lemonade, old friends visited and people even bought pots!
