Totem Trio. Cathy Gerson, artist<\/p><\/div>\n

Cathy Gerson will open her unique studio\u2014which is inside a former t-shirt factory next to Mineral Creek\u2014to visitors over the weekend. \u201cI display a tremendous variety of ceramic work including a colorful pottery line, my spiritual totems and Tile Wall Murals\u2014some of which are classic cars\u2014plus other fun, fanciful ceramic creations,\u201d she says. Gerson has participated in the Safari since she moved to NC in 2013. \u201cIt is a warm, wonderful experience,\u201d she says. \u201cI have so many repeat customers that they have become friends. Also, I love inviting people into my home and studio here in the Big Ivy and I also value the camaraderie of the other artists in the Safari.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sue Salvaterra Hintz, owner of Salvaterra Pottery, will also open her studio to the public. Visitors can order custom work that she will throw on the potter\u2019s wheel while they watch and direct the process. \u201cThis is a fun experience for both us and our client,\u201d Hintz says. \u201cThey get to be part of the creative process.\u201d Hintz has been participating in the Safari for more than four years, and says the tour provides contrast to the typically solitary life of creating pottery. \u201cMost days we are quietly making pieces without outside interaction,\u201d she says. \u201cIt is a nice change of pace twice a year through the Safari to switch focus and spend the two days focusing on the interaction with those who are interested in our journey and the work we create.\u201d<\/p>\n
