Mikel Kelley back for his 14th year on the Tour

Mikel Kelley has been with the Spring Art Tour since the beginning

Mikel’s ceramics studio has been a part of the Mt. Horeb community for over 20 years, and he is one of the original organizers of the Tour. His work can be seen all over town—from private sculptures to his iconic Grumpy Troll mugs. Stop by 4th Street Ceramics June 4-6 to see the artist at work, view artwork, or commission a piece.

A full plate, and a beautiful one at that!

Heidi Clayton, co-owner of Center Ground Studios, potter, teacher, wife and mom, MHAAA president tireless worker at other jobs as well, and just barely into her 3rd decade of life? Wunderkind! We at MHAAA are thrilled to have Clayton as our hard-working, utterly charming, inspiring leader, and are so grateful for all that she does.

That said, Heidi, lately got back into the studio after too much time taking care of everything and everybody else. She recently writes:
“First time back in the studio for what seems like forever. I wanted to try an oval serving dish and some medium bowls to get back in the swing of things. I have to say it feels really good to touch clay again!”

Back in the Studio…
