Page 2 Around Town Mike Fowler Fowlers Clay Works Kountry Antics Featuring Country Decor, Jams, Salsa Handmake Soap, Cottage Candles Join in on one of their fun pottery classes! Family owned and family centered, Mike, his wife Cheryl and their beautiful daughter Ava, make a living by creating authentic pottery. Mike began his ceramic journey in 1995, when he was studying Audio Engineering at Full Sail University. The talented Del and Barbra Seaman, owners of Artistic Hand in Oviedo, Florida, gave him a well-rounded start and taught him the beginning steps of making art a lifestyle. Soon after, in 1998, Mike began his search for personal style under the wing of Richard and Alice Collinson at Palms Up Pottery. After 8 years, Mike and his Family moved into the beautiful Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Within the next years of his career, Mike refined his artistic technique as well as learned the art of historical southern pottery with Robert and Connie Alewine, at Alewine Pottery. Mike tells his story through his pottery using slip trailing. Making small intentional gestures that allow him to express himself on just about every piece. This signature mark reminds him always of his family and what he has worked so hard to attain. Mike also mixes his own glazes that prove to reflect the beauty of the natural surrounding world. One of his favorite things about creating pottery is knowing that in some capacity the pots enrich a person’s life, making that beverage a little more exciting, or a natural flower arrangement even more beautiful. He adds elements of the world around, including elements of himself and passed mentors. Knowing that there is more to clay works than just making a pot. Fowler’s Clay works focuses on bringing out the best of the Great Smokies in color, heritage and design. There is nothing more special than being able to take home a memory that will last a lifetime.

No wild animals are ever captured for exhibition; all new acquisitions are from other U.S.D.A. licensed zoos or are rescue animals. The Habitat was expanded in 2007 and now not only exhibits American black bears, but also river otters, bobcats, raccoon, skunks, flying squirrels, a red squirrel, eight different bird of prey species, and a variety of reptiles, amphibians, and fish. The Habitat includes three separate concrete enclosures, two of which house the black bear, one houses the river otters. There are outside flight enclosures for the diurnal birds of prey and a new bobcat enclosure opened fall of 2014. The Nocturnal house has nocturnal birds of prey, raccoons, skunks and flying squirrels. The reptile house has a variety of small reptiles, amphibians, fish and a red squirrel. The bears are off exhibit while in hibernation, but all the other animals are awake and out in all but the most extreme weather. The bobcats and otters both very much enjoy playing in the snow throughout the winter. All of the animals inside are also available for viewing throughout the winter. www.obergatlinburg.com Gatlinburg’s Largest Collection of Antiques You owe it to yourself to stop by our antique shop in Gatlinburg for the best selection of antiques, collectibles and antique furniture in the area 373 Parkway, Gatlinburg • (865) 325-1411 www.facebook.com/AmericanSideshow Ober Gatlinburg Presents Every Saturday 6 to 8pm Come up the Mountain and be a part of our inaugural Live Music Summer Series that runs every Saturday through August 25th.
