Spruce Pine Potters Market '22 - Artists 1 & 2

Our foursome arrived before noon on the second day of the pottery market, held in a wonderful old warehouse or textile manufacturing building with windows on all sides. Note, I only took photos of the pottery I thought was interesting.


1. Gertrude (Gay) Smith has wonderful designs. Here's her web site. gertrudegrahamsmith.com/


2. I had a nice talk with David Ross about his silhouettes and spray painted glaze designs, and some of them had brush-work as well. I loved the elephants, and my friend Judy likes giraffes.  David lives nearby and is featured in the Mica Gallery site HERE.

These are some of the best artists of Western North Carolina...at least in the mountains. Then there's Seagrove NC in the Piedmont.  But this was only a drive of 45 minutes from my home!

Today's quote:
It is the ability to take a joke, not make one, that proves you have a sense of humor. 
-Max Eastman, journalist and poet (1883-1969)
