Southern Highlands Craft Guild - three

 A final chapter of our visit. We then went downstairs to peruse the various craft wares in the shop. Here are some stunning pots. 

I have a bowl made by Joe Frank McKee, not pit fired or sager fired unfortunately, but beautiful still.

Martin Stankus did the lighter pink pots.

I didn't buy a thing this time!

I have made so many pieces with torn clay. But she got here first. And she applied gold leaf and gold composite to hers!

I loved this lamp, but it was already sold!

After we looked a bit at the shop downstairs of all the crafts that are currently being made by members, we sat at a picnic table outside in the sun, with a nice balmy temperature of 70 F.

The remaining stump from a nice old tree that used to shade the picnic table (out of the photo)

I was intrigued by the shades and shapes, as I think someone had had a fire in the stump.

In the mostly grey woods, a holly tree was bright green.

We had seen the cuts in the trees along the parkway (in distant background) but didn't realize the pipe nearby had been a light pole which had been snapped off at the base and was now lying on the hill going down to the parkway. There were high winds that also came through with Hurricane Helene.
