“Cousins in Clay” – Seagrove, NC – Bulldog Pottery

“Cousins in Clay” – Seagrove, NC – Bulldog Pottery

“The Cousins are Coming”
Hello, Happy and Warm Summer Days Ahead…
This
coming weekend on May 26 and 27, Ron Meyers, Judith Duff, and Micheal
Kline will join us with their fabulous pottery here at Bulldog Pottery
for the 4th annual “Cousins in Clay”
May 26 – Saturday 10:00-5:00

May 27 – Sunday 10:00-4:00
For
this year we have made a slight change on where we will display all of
the pottery. We are planning to have the Cousins in Clay event at our
house instead of tents outside of our shop. There seems to be a chance
of showers on the days we would be setting up the tents, and we thought
it best to focus on getting one location ready for the event. For those
of you who are coming to “Cousins,” if you don’t need to park close
please park up at the garden and walk down via the gravel driveway.
That way it will leave the parking spaces closer to the house for those
that are less nimble. To get to our house by car just follow the gravel
driveway pass the yellow cottage and shop and around the garden to the
white house at the end of the gravel driveway …. we will be set-up in
the breeze way. — Look for the flags.
On
Saturday starting shortly before noon Bruce’s brother in-law, Chronis
Pou Vasilou, from Greensboro will be playing his Bouzouki for an
afternoon of Greek music.
And
there will be a light buffet throughout Saturday for as long as the food lasts.
Michael Kline will present a brush work demonstration on Saturday at 2:00 and Sunday at 1:30.
On
Sunday there will be a potters potluck at noon. All are welcome.
Please join us to celebrate and meet our special guest “cousins”
potters, Ron and Judith.
Come on out, it will be comfortable Rain or Shine.
All Our Best,

Bruce, Samantha, Ed, and Gloria (and Maxwell though he may not be available for most of the day, but not by his choice)
