I have partnered with Foothills Conservancy of North Carolina!

"FCNC is a nonprofit land trust that is on a mission is to inspire conservation in Western North Carolina by permanently protecting land and water for the benefit of people and all living things."

The Clay Story

Past

In the Spring of 2024, fellow potters & friends of mine, Matt Hallyburton and Kim Ellington, were on the hunt for a new clay deposit. They ended up discovering one of the largest known Catawba Valley clay veins in Oak Hill Community Park and Forest. This land is owned and protected by Foothills Conservancy of North Carolina.

Present

Recognizing the cultural importance of this rare resource, FCNC partnered with the potters to make the clay available to local artists while continuing to steward the land for community use.

Future

"This collaboration celebrates the intersection of art, history, and conservation."

Each piece of pottery made from this clay will be a living story of the land, culture, and the benefits of conservation. I am so thrilled to be a part of that story.
