Art Show
August 8 • 9 • 10, 10am-5pm
Come join us for:
Door Prizes, Scholarship Fundraiser, Original Art, Prints, Mini-Paintings, Pottery and Cards.
I have decided to not participate in this years sale. While I would like to be a part, and do my part to contribute to the art scholarships, Musa and I have decided, we just cannot make it work. We are leading a family reunion during the same time, and hosting cousins from out of town. I hope you will come and support this group of talented artists.
I wish you all well and hope to participate again next year.
If you have questions about this years event, feel free to contact me.

Horsehair Raku
17th Annual
Pottery Sales
Memorial Day weekend • 2024
May 25 • 26 9am-3pm
I have been holding sales of my work on Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend since 2007. Now with the addition of horsehair raku, and a steady stream of commissions I am averaging 400-450 pieces sold annually. With the addition of my new kiln and expanded glazes I find a new found freedom in both design and creation of my work.
Musa and I were fortunate to spend most of January and February in Florida this year. I have returned newly inspired with expanded design possibilities and color palette.
