			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Things are blooming here on Snow Creek!  I just fired my kiln and have lots of new work in our showroom.  Please come up for a visit!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m having a bit of trouble uploading new images, and am re-doing this site soon, so please bear with me.  In the meantime, check out my latest work on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Courtney-Martin-Pottery/162997127065104">Facebook</a>.</p>
<p>If you are looking for information on Jeff and Susie&#8217;s wedding registry- please email me at courtneypots (at) gmail (dot) com.  </p>
<p>Our <a href="http://www.toeriverarts.org/studiotour.shtml">Studio Tour</a> is coming up- June 8th, 9th and 10th.  It is a huge tour put on by the Toe River Arts Council- with over 100 artists.  John and I will have our showroom all cleaned up and will be serving refreshments.  We&#8217;re glad to have our friend, fiber artist <a href="http://chompindustries.com/home.html">Dana Fehsenfeld</a> showing with us.  It&#8217;s the best time to come see our showroom!</p>
<p>This summer I am excited to have an exhibition with my husband <a href="http://www.jgeciglass.com">John Geci</a> at <a href="http://http://artcellaronline.com">Art Cellar</a> in Banner Elk.  The show will run August 2nd to 25th, with an opening on August 4th from 4 to 6pm.  We&#8217;re both working on new things for this- I have some wall pieces I am excited about, as well as some larger pots and groupings.</p>
<p>I am also showing at the Toe River Arts Council with <a href="http://www.pottersoftheroan.com/">Potters of the Roan</a>.  It is a group show that will run from August 11th to September 22nd with an opening reception on August 18th from 5 to 7pm.  I&#8217;m proud to be part of Potters of the Roan.  It is a guild with some amazing potters.  Check out our show if you get the chance.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.southernhighlandguild.org/pages/guild-shops/craft-fair-of-the-southern-highlands.php">Craft Fair of the Southern Highlands</a> is July 19th to 22nd, and October 18th to 21st.  I will be sharing a booth with John Geci for both shows- come see us there.<br />
<a href="http://www.sprucepinepottersmarket.com/"><br />
Spruce Pine Potters Market</a> is also in October- the 13th and 14th.  This show is something we all work together to put on- and it shows!  It&#8217;s a great time to come up and see LOADs of fantastic work all in one place!</p>
<p>Hope to see y&#8217;all soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Greetings!  Here on Snow Creek things are in full bloom.  We are excitedly awaiting our newest addition!  The Studio Tour was a big success- thanks to everyone who came out to see us.  Our showroom is still tidy and ready for visitors this summer- if you&#8217;re in the area, please stop by.</p>
<p>This fall you can see me, my new work, and our new little one at the <a href="http://www.sprucepinepottersmarket.com/">Spruce Pine Potters Market</a>.  This show is a great time to take a trip to the mountains and see some of our very best all in one spot.  The show will be on October 8 and 9 from 10am to 5pm.  </p>
<p>I am also going to be at the <a href="http://www.southernhighlandguild.org/pages/guild-shops/craft-fair-of-the-southern-highlands.php">Southern Highlands Craft Guild&#8217;s Fall Show</a>.  My husband <a href="http://www.jgeciglass.com">John Geci</a> and I will be sharing a booth.  The show runs from October 20 to 23, from 10am to 6pm each day.  This is a fun show for us- Asheville is town with good foods and lots of our friends do the show too.  </p>
<p>Hope to see you soon!</p>

It&#8217;s really spring here on Snow Creek Rd!  Hooray!  I just fired my kiln for the first time this year, and am getting ready to take a break from making pottery.  John and I are expecting a new addition to our little world this summer.  We&#8217;re very excited.  </p>
<p>I am taking a break from the usual spring shows to spend some time at home.  <a href="http://www.jgeciglass.com">John Geci</a> and I are going to be on the <a href="http://www.toeriverarts.org/studiotour.shtml">Toe River Arts Council Studio Tour</a>.  As always, this is the best time to come by our place and see what we&#8217;ve been working on.  The spring tour will take place June 10 from 12 to 4pm, and June 11 and 12 from 10am to 6pm.  This spring we&#8217;ll have two guest artists: Encaustic painter Jim Waters and Woodworker <a href="http://scottwoodworking.com">David Scott</a>.  Come take a tour of our beautiful area and see some incredible art and craft!</p>
<p>As a new member of the <a href="http://roanpotters.com">Potters of the Roan</a>, I am participating in their group show at the <a href="http://themahlerfineart.com/exhibition.php?eventID=39">Mahler Gallery</a> in Raleigh.  The show runs from May 6 to June 4, 2011, with an opening reception on May 6 from 6-9pm.  It&#8217;s going to be a great show! </p>
<p>In the fall you will be able to see me and my new work at both the <a href="http://www.sprucepinepottersmarket.com">Spruce Pine Potters Market</a>, and the <a href="http://southernhighlandguild.org">Southern Highlands Craft Guild</a> show.</p>

<p>I am back in the studio making pots in preparation for spring.  It&#8217;s going well- I&#8217;m working on a few new ideas, a dinner set, work for a couple gallery shows, and some other commission pieces.  As always, our showroom is open.  Come on up and see us anytime!</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.toeriverarts.org">Toe River Arts Council Studio Tour</a> is December 3rd from 12 to 4, and December 4th and 5th from 10 to 5.  This is such a fun tour- there are over 100 artists, and lots of really good work!  <a href="http://www.jgeciglass.com">John Geci</a> and I have been working hard to re-do our showroom, and it&#8217;s looking good!  This December jeweler <a href="http://www.amytavern.com">Amy Tavern</a> will be our guest artist.  We&#8217;ll have refreshments, glass blowing, and a really cute dog to pet!</p>
<p>John and I are doing our second annual Holiday Online Sale after the Tour.  The sale will begin Wednesday December 8th at 10am.  I will be posting images on our Etsy page that morning.  You can find the link to the page here on Wednesday.</p>
