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.

Nancy Cann, Cellar Art

I have been working in glass for 10 years and have an extensive artistic background.  I make glass jewelry and have recently started making my new glass panels.  The glass panels look like batik paintings but are completely made out of glass.  I developed a technique that allows me to paint with powdered glass and after the painting is finished I then fire it in the kiln.  I’m very proud to be a 2011 Niche Award Finalist and currently sell my work out of over 50 shops and galleries across the United States.
