The weather in May was far from ideal for an outdoor event. Blustery winds swept through the area, making it challenging to keep displays in place and guests comfortable. Yet, despite the rough conditions, the pottery Open House drew a good crowd. This post is a heartfelt thank you to everyone who braved the weather to support the event and a look ahead to the next Open House in September.

Thank You to Everyone Who Attended


The May Open House was a true test of dedication. Thank goodness for the pottery cabin! She stood tall and sturdy even if the wind and rain made everything a challenge. Some items still needed extra securing and delicate pieces handled with extra care. Despite this, pottery lovers showed up, eager to explore the collection and meet the artist behind the work.


Your presence made all the difference. The conversations, questions, and shared enthusiasm created a warm atmosphere that overcame the chill of the weather. It was inspiring to see people appreciate the craftsmanship and creativity involved in pottery making.


Highlights from the May Event


  • Wide variety of pottery pieces: From functional mugs and bowls to decorative vases and sculptures, the collection showcased months of work.

  • Live demonstrations: Even with the wind, the pottery wheel kept spinning, giving visitors a glimpse into the creative process.

  • Community connections: Many attendees shared stories about their own pottery experiences or interest in starting the craft.

  • Support for local art: The event reinforced the importance of supporting handmade, local creations.


The challenges of the weather made the success even sweeter. It reminded everyone that passion for art can shine through any storm.


What to Expect at the September Open House


Looking ahead, the next Open House is scheduled for September. With the cooler, more stable weather of early fall, the event promises to be even more enjoyable. Here’s what you can look forward to:


  • Expanded pottery collection: New designs and pieces created over the summer will be on display.

  • Workshops and hands-on activities: Opportunities to try pottery making yourself.

  • Refreshments and seating areas: Comfortable spaces to relax and chat.

  • Special offers: Discounts on select pottery pieces for attendees.


Mark your calendar and plan to join again. The September event will be a chance to reconnect, discover new art, and enjoy a relaxed atmosphere.
