Family owned and family centered, Mike, his wife Cheryl and<br />
their beautiful daughter Ava, make a living by creating<br />
authentic pottery.<br />
Mike began his ceramic journey in 1995, when he was studying<br />
Audio Engineering at Full Sail University. The talented Del and<br />
Barbra Seaman, owners of Artistic Hand in Oviedo, Florida,<br />
gave him a well-rounded start and taught him the beginning<br />
steps of making art a lifestyle.<br />
Soon after, in 1998, Mike began his search for personal style<br />
under the wing of Richard and Alice Collinson at Palms Up<br />
Pottery. After 8 years, Mike and his Family moved into the<br />
beautiful Gatlinburg, Tennessee.<br />
Within the next years of his career, Mike refined his artistic<br />
technique as well as learned the art of historical southern<br />
pottery with Robert and Connie Alewine, at Alewine Pottery.<br />
Mike tells his story through his pottery using slip trailing.<br />
Making small intentional gestures that allow him to express<br />
himself on just about every piece. This signature mark reminds<br />
him always of his family and what he has worked so hard to<br />
attain.<br />
Mike also mixes his own glazes that prove to reflect the beauty<br />
of the natural surrounding world. One of his favorite things<br />
about creating pottery is knowing that in some capacity the pots<br />
enrich a person’s life, making that beverage a little more<br />
exciting, or a natural flower arrangement even more beautiful.<br />
He adds elements of the world around, including elements of<br />
himself and passed mentors.<br />
Knowing that there is more to clay works than just making a<br />
pot. Fowler’s Clay works focuses on bringing out the best of the<br />
Great Smokies in color, heritage and design. There is nothing<br />
more special than being able to take home a memory that will<br />
last a lifetime. Visit their shop at 1402 East Parkway, #10 in<br />

Anakeesta’s new single-rail mountain coaster is the first of<br />
its kind in the United States! As a single-rail line, riders can<br />
ride lower to the ground on a single track creating a thrilling<br />
and unique experience as you race through the trees while<br />
flying down the mountain. It also allows you to control your<br />
own speed so if you prefer a slower pace you can do that too!<br />
The Anakeesta Rail Runner takes you on an exhilarating<br />
downhill ride with a 400 ft. elevation change and can hit<br />
speeds of 25 mph. The ride begins with 1,600 feet of<br />
downhill twists and turns and ends with a scenic uphill ride<br />
back to the top of Anakeesta Mountain. Riders can ride solo<br />
or tandem with a small child.<br />
Maximum weight: 270 lbs. (if you choose to ride with a<br />
child, your combined weight cannot exceed 270 lbs.)<br />
Minimum age: 3 years old<br />
Riders under the age of 9 must ride tandem with a companion<br />
