I wish to thank everyone for the support and involvement with my studio work. I have dedicated my life to producing the best work I could with pieces of clay. I spent 50 years in clay and loved working with the material.
I have delayed this announcement, so please forgive me. I miss the people that are involved with clay, and I hope that you enjoyed the work I produced and I would still love to hear from you. So enjoy that cup of coffee and I hope you say, "this is my favorite cup"

Just a quick update for everyone following Ron's (my father's) studio page here, as he's been far too busy to keep up with updating social media;

Dad has been forced to give up the house he's currently living in because of the NCDOT's plans to expand Hwy 226 at the mouth of Cub Creek.

What does this mean exactly? As far as I understand the barn shop will likely close during the house demolition. He will likely not be around very much during that time, but can still be reached on this page if you would like to contact him.

I'm not sure of dad's plans to return to clay at this point, as it has been a couple years at least since his last firing. So, if you have ever wanted to own a piece of his work or expand to your current collection, now is the time to do so! Not only would you be assisting him in this crazy transition, but you would be helping to preserve his work!

Thank you everyone for your support over the years, and we hope to resume normal operations at the barn in a couple years or so!

Maria and I will be in the Gallery this weekend with some new porcelain work. We would love to see you if you are coming up this way. Got cookies and samples of my sourdough bread I have been working on for the pass year or so. Would love to see you. Have a great weekend.

Winter has taken me out of the studio and into the drawing room. The clay work is from my 2017 collection

Come see us on this year's TRAC Studio Tour, #97 on map 3! See you out there!

Studio Tour starts tomorrow. Fingers crossed for good weather (or not so rainy), but no flooding reports from artists. We'll post if we hear anything, but right know, bring your rain coat or an umbrella and remember, inside the studios, it's cool and dry.
