20 Days of Handmade: Crazy Green Studios

One of the nicest people I met while in Asheville, North Carolina, was Lori Theriault of Crazy Green Studios. As I was preparing to leave town, she and a group were working to open The Village Potters which is now located at 191 Lyman Street, #180, in Riverview Station in Asheville’s river arts district.

The Village Potters is both a gallery and a teaching center, so you can sign up to finally learn how to throw on the wheel. It’s the best place to see Lori’s work in person these days and they also have an online shop if you want to buy one of Lori’s great mugs but don’t happen to be in western North Carolina.

You can also follow Lori’s blog Homemade Tastes Better on Handmade to see her plates and bowls in action.

Support Handmade: 20 Days of Handmade

I say this every year during the holidays but this year I am saying it even louder: support handmade! It is no secret that I am a fan of small, independent, and creative businesses. So for the month of December I will be highlighting such a business every day on my blog. A lot of these businesses are people I have met over the years but some are handcrafters whose work I own or simply admire.

Please consider supporting some of these creators this month! You don’t need to get great uncle Algie another pair of socks when you can buy him a 6 pack of whoopie pies, an PRG, or a custom made mug. Check back on December 1st to see my first business pick!

Grout Elementary Holiday Bazaar November 22

Panda With Cookie will be at the Grout Elementary holiday bazaar on Saturday, November 22, from 9-3. The sale is a benefit for the 5th grade trip to Science Camp. There’s a pancake breakfast at 8 am and doors to the fair open at 9 am. I’ll have a fresh batch of my taco pirate ornaments for sale after almost selling out last weekend, as well as my usual selection of plush and baby onesies.

Come out and support that Science Camp trip! I look forward to seeing everyone there!
