Events

Have you been collecting my work over the years? Why not schedule a complimentary studio tour when you’re planning to be in North Asheville? Please send an email or a text and we’ll find an hour for you to come and see where I do pottery and if you’re a dog person, you might get to meet my furriest employee, Harper the Brittany Spaniel.
