Arts at the Market: Handcrafting Ceramic Veggies
A Nourish Kids club activity. A hands on craft demonstration with a local Appalachian Artist. This morning, Ashley will lead us through making ceramic veggies that will be kiln fired and available for pickup at the February 24th market.
When Ashley was just a kindergartener, she fell in love with clay after seeing the handmade pinch pots created by the 5th graders. Ashley eagerly waited until she became a 5th grader in order to get her hands officially in the mud. From then, Ashley knew that working with clay would somehow be her calling and has been pursuing clay ever since.
Studying arts and clay throughout secondary school, Ashley continued her studies and earned a B.F.A. with a concentration in Ceramics at East Tennessee State University in 2012.
Now located near the Great Smoky Mountain in East Tennessee, Ashley focuses on creating handcrafted tableware and décor adding charm and uniqueness to every home, office, cabin or restaurant!
