Yesterday, a very nice arts and craft show was held at Double Oaks Bed and Breakfast on North Mendenhall Street. The above photo features Adam Wiley, one of the featured artists. Adam, originally from Ohio, moved to Greensboro a few years ago to be part of the community of potters in the area. Adam, who attended Kent State University, is both a potter and a woodworker. Lately he has been combining these two talents by making pottery vessels and turning wooden lids to fit them perfectly. A few examples of this combined talent can be seen above.
We were lucky to meet Adam yesterday as he doesn't get to show his work in Greensboro very often. Adam is busy in his position as customer service representative at the STARworks Cermmics Supply Shop, about an hour south of Greensboro in Star, North Carolina. If you have never been to STARworks, please treat yourself to a visit. You can take classes, enjoy a cup of coffee or a beer in the coffee shop, listen to great live music, and maybe even stop by and say hi to Adam. Fortunately, Adam's wood and pottery vessels are available for purchase at STARworks. Adam calls these vessels KEEPS because you can keep special things in them. Contact Adam and see more of his great KEEPS on his website, www.craftedtokeep.com . Buy one of Adam's pieces for a gift and you can be sure the recipient will keep it for a very long time.
A wonderful portrait shot!
