Bear Hands Art Factory

SOLD
Update/ Price lowered to $600. All the other items are sold.

Speedball Clay Boss. Great wheel, sturdy and works perfect. Has a minor chip in the splash pan, but no other issues. $700.

Brent B in fine working condition. I used it for teaching and trimming my pots. It has a reverse which is handy if you throw left-handed. $900.

Selling my L&L kiln studio kiln. Awesome workhorse ! It has 1 year old elements, 3” brick, model 23T-240. Single phase. It’s all drilled for a vent, but doesn’t come with one. I’m including a nice amount of kiln shelves and posts with it. $2,600.

Over the last few months, the focus of my life has shifted dramatically. My daughter, Hannah, has leukemia and is undergoing treatment at Duke hospital in Durham. I am caring for her and her family most of my days. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Our whole family is helping, praying and working. Our church is supporting us, feeding Hannah and her family, giving money and time, and praying hard for Hannah to be healed and to be able bodied again to raise her 4 children.

I don’t see myself going back to full time pottery. My focus has shifted. I believe God has different things in mind for me. So I am closing the studio and selling off some equipment. I will be posting the items here in the next few days.

I’m no longer able to teach pottery while caring for my grandchildren, but some of my work is available at Made in NC. The owners of the shop have kindly created an entire table of my work! I sure miss being busy in my studio, but my family needs me right now as Hannah gets treatment for leukemia. Thank you Mark and Amanda for the lovely display! Please stop by Made in NC in Front street, in the old Wells Fargo building and shop locally made treats and art for your Christmas list.

Due to a family situation I’m closing the studio for a short time and will not be teaching for a while. When I reopen I will announce it. Not sure when. Thanks.

Visit the Made in NC store on Front Street, located in the historic Wells Fargo building. Everything inside is crafted by local artisans and businesses from North Carolina! Whether you're searching for a special gift or something delicious for dinner, you'll discover it here. I'm thrilled that my pottery is now showcased in this store. I'm excited to collaborate with Amanda, the store manager. These creations are made exclusively for this shop. Be sure to stop by and take a look.

Is this egg tray cute or what? I just added it, and I can't wait to make more! Let me know what you think in the comments.

Come see me today at the Made in NC store from 9 to noon. I will be demonstrating some clay making and I have special items here for sale. I really enjoy meeting everyone. Made in NC is located near the Farmers Market in Front Street inside the former Wells Fargo building.

New work. I love the egg holders.
