Sheryl Holstein, Mountain Oak Pottery

“Becoming a potter is a passion, a goal and an extension of who I am.  I love making beautiful things that can be shared with others.  I hope others enjoy viewing, touching and using my pottery as much as I have enjoyed creating them.”

Sheryl has been making pottery since 2002 and is continuously learning new and different techniques for throwing and glazing.  Her studio overlooks the gorgeous Blue Ridge Mountains that give her inspiration every day.

A Shout Out to James Reaux!

Why Not “Do Lunch” and

Make a Difference?

Hiawassee, GA—Mountain Regional Arts and Craft Guild, Inc. and ArtWorks, its retail outlet, are thrilled that local restaurant owner/chef James Reaux has decided to donate proceeds from patrons who lunch at The ChopHouse of Hiawassee on Thursday, March 24, 2011, from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Reaux says ”The restaurant is doing well and as part of the community, I feel the arts are an important part of a thriving area so I want to do my part to support it and invite everyone to join in and ‘do lunch’ to help the Guild out.”

The ChopHouse of Hiawassee is located at the bridge on Highway 76 up the hill perfectly situated with views of beautiful Lake Chatuge. By the way, try the she-crab soup and crab cakes, signature dishes, you’ll come back for again and again.

Spirit Lala

Welcome to the world of Spirit Lala and her exciting array of talents, from unique custom handcrafted art jewelry, whimsical clocks and stunning contemporary paintings found in many galleries across the nation.

Just where on earth did Spirit get her ideas on Art anyway? Could it have been the inspiration of the coastal rainforests of Australia, or the balmy tropical breezes and lifestyle of the island of Guam in the Pacific and the island of Roatan in the Caribbean? Or perhaps, was it just genetic?
