We’re open from 10 to 6 for this Holiday event. Join us for a cookie and a look at what’s new!

The 21st Annual Artisans Studio Tour is coming this weekend! Thirty-five artisans in 17 studios will be showing their current work in Charlottesville and the surrounding counties. Come to Mud Dauber Pottery in Earlysville on November 7 and 8 to see what’s new!

The 1st Annual Virginia Clay Festival in late September was a great success. Participants were all clay artists. Handbuilding and wheel throwing demonstrations by participating crafters went on all day, both days. The live demonstrations made the show more interesting for the artisans as well as for the attendees. If you missed it, I recommend it for next year!

My showing featured items that are often considered excellent wedding gifts: platters, serving bowls and pitchers.

Here we see Jack appreciating one of my cups at Mud Dauber Pottery during The Studio Tour 2013.

There are two new galleries in Charlottesville that are selling my work. If you have an opportunity, I recommend you stop by The Artisans Market in the North Wing of Barracks Road shopping center. They have a nice collection of local handcraft in addition to other items. Likewise, on the downtown mall in Charlottesville, look for Chroma Projects Art Laboratory (chromaprojects.com). Along with the great representation of 2-dimentional art, there is a room devoted to the potters of City Clay. You will find a few of my pieces in the mix.
