Hello,

I am excited to announce my friend, Sarah Wells Rolland, is coming to Colorado! Sarah is the owner and Co-Founder of The Village Potters in Asheville North Carolina. I have worked with Sarah for a couple of years in her mentorship program and did several online classes with her. My experience with her has transformed me in so many ways, I am a better potter and I am passionate about sharing the love of clay more than ever.
I was able to take a trip to fire with her in March of 2024. My visit there was so special. This beautiful community of potters was so inspiring! As you can image when I heard about the flood and soon saw the devastation my heart broke! I started thinking then about how I could help them rebuild. Bringing her to Colorado was my goal and it’s happening!!
