              Roll into Relief, Self-Massage/Gentle Yoga WorkshopLearn more and Sign up here:November 1, 2025 
 2:30 - 5 pm
 Mineral City Yoga
 Spruce Pine, NC
 As an artist, I've learned in order to support my creative pursuits in my clay studio that I must incorporate self care into my daily life. Through regular movement and self massage I've managed back and neck pain that I have had from working as a potter. In this workshop, we’ll explore how simple ball-rolling techniques can help release knots, relieve chronic tension, improve circulation, and restore mobility—giving you the tools to recover faster, move with ease, and feel lighter in your body.

 Come see me at my favorite local pottery show. I'm always inspired by all of the potters who live and work around me, this is a chance for us to gather together for this beautiful pottery show!
 The Spruce Pine Potters Market is an annual show that is managed and organized by our artists who live and work in a two county area of western North Carolina. The rich history of craft in this mountain region, along with the renowned Penland School of Craft, has brought these artists to call this area home. Our unique combination of ceramic artists sets the stage for a dynamic show.
