Asheville studio potter Julie Calhoun-Roepnack
will be at Gallery of the Mountains in Asheville from 1 – 5pm on Friday, June 2nd
demonstrating surface design on clay using handmade stamps, sgraffito and
carving tools. Watch Julie create various textures for her nature-inspired
subjects that she illustrates on her signature line of pottery, the Blue Ridge Collection. Several mugs,
bowls and vases will be on display and available for sale.
Paying homage to the Arts and Crafts
movement of the early 20th Century, Julie has designed a distinctive high-fire,
lead-free, fully functional pottery collection inspired by the beauty and flora
of Western North Carolina. Tall pines, stumpy shrubbery, rolling landscape and
open sky are all individually hand-carved to create a balanced and soothing
nature-scape on each piece; an image that is both familiar and indicative of
the stunning scenery and terrain of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North
Carolina.
