Immerse Yourself in the Appalachian Mountains

Visit Overlook Ahead for a workshop and an extraordinary change of scenery.

Soda Firing

Bring your own bisqued pots and use our high-fire glazes. Learn about loading and firing the kiln. Discuss how to use materials you forage from sites that have special meaning to you.

Onsite Activities

While the soda kiln cools, explore the nooks and crannies of our forested mountainside. Simply sit and enjoy the view.

Wellness and Re-Wilding

Our partnership with Roots Awakening allows us to offer sessions in a variety of areas including wellness, mindfulness and meditation, yoga, and herbal medicine. Each day of the workshop will provide moments for reflection and cultivating awareness of the environment.

Field Trips

Visit the many nearby natural and cultural attractions. We can customize an itinerary based on your interests and seasonal opportunities. The Towns of Blowing Rock and Boone are each about half an hour away. Asheville and all of the potters in that area aren't much further, and we can arrange visits to galleries and studios.

Accommodations

Lodging for small groups is available onsite, and we can recommend nearby rental options or hotels in town as well.

Blue Ridge Parkway

The most-visited National Park features scenic overlooks, access to hiking and parks. We are minutes from the Parkway and everything it has to offer!
