The sale has come and gone and Joseph, Mark, and I are settled back into the throwing cycle. The racks are filling up and I am sitting in JFK airport waiting for a plane to Washington state to visit family and see my little brother graduate from college. Hopefully he will make some time to take me fishing.
Two larger changes happened in the time since my last post. The first was somewhat predictable. Successfully completing one more year on this grand old earth and rolling past the quarter century mark into the 26th year of my life..... I turned 25. The second big change took place the day after and was slightly less anticipated and much more exciting and frightening all at the same time.
I closed on 27 acres of steep mountains, 3 acres of pasture, an old somewhat dilapidated 1920's farm house, two huge over grown apple trees, an old tobacco barn in a much more dilapidated state, and a two seater outhouse. The future home of East Fork Pottery. The place is located 30 minutes from Ashville outside the town of Mars Hill. Look out for a blog name change in the coming months! Untill then I am trying to stay focused for this last cycle and make some nice pots. I'll keep you all posted!
The picture option is not working but I will update this with some snaps of the place when I land in Seattle.

Happy Birthday, Congratulations on the property. Have a safe trip. We're happy for your news!
Alex, this is soooo exciting! I am really happy for you. I wish I had bought 27 acres of land near Asheville when I was 25. Instead, I married a drummer in a rock and roll band and set off on a whole other kind of adventure. No regrets, but that kind of place would sure be nice to own right now! Congratulations, hope to see it someday. Wes is thinking she may be going to college in Asheville, so maybe we can come for a visit and by some pots!
ALEX! that is so awesome. The place sounds like heaven. maybe we can come get some grafts from those apples trees whenever I learn how to do that. And happy belated birthday, what an incredible present with the land. can't wait for pics.
Exciting stuff. Congratulations.
Thanks everybody. It is exciting stuff. There is LOTS and LOTS to do. I'll keep you all posted!
That is really unbelievably exciting news! And so impressive. Can't wait for the blog name change. Don't slow down... this is just the beginning of something great.
