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 />
