Artist: Stegall's Stoneware

"Whether thrown on a wheel, extruded, hand built, or pressed into forms, we continue to be fascinated by this material known as clay. Its flexibility lends itself to the many shapes we create, and the many more we can imagine. The clean, simple forms we produce are accented with non-toxic glazes and stains in colors and designs reflecting the landscape of our lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains." Alan & Nancy Stegall

 

     
Artist: Terry Acker

"I love the mud-lusciousness of clay! Clay combines sculpture and paint, with its' three dimensional form and surface decoration. The immediacy of creating the form and the technique of applying glazes in a painterly way is intoxicating. A well-made ceramic form transcends the humbleness of function and becomes art! I am inspired by nature and intrigued by how we connect and relate to it. My vessels are united by an underlying theme of respect for nature and the joy of being a part of it." Terry Acker

 

     
Artist: Susan Davy

Susan Davy's flax ash pottery is created by burning flax from midwest farms in the kiln. The potter glazes each piece with her own unique "landscape" motif. Additional bowls, plates, trays, tableware and baking pieces are available.

"I wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for all your help and phone calls regarding the money clips I'm after. It seems nowadays that most retailers won't go out of their way to help people, so I'm particularly happy about the way you've helped me. Next time I'm visiting my brother, we'll be sure to stop in and say hello..."
