Whimsical Ceramic Art by Asheville Artists Jean & Carl Saake

UPDATE: Live Art Demo by Jean & Carl Saake

Saturday – 11AM – 4PM

Being creative is not a hobby…It’s a way of life

And so it has been with ceramic artists Jean and Carl Saake.

As some of Asheville’s oldest ceramic artists (90+), both Jean along with her husband Carl have long mastered the wonderful technique of hand building fanciful birds, apples and pears as well as other whimsical critters such as lady bugs and snails from clay.

Jean painstakingly molds, rolls and pinch crafts each and every one of her ceramic pieces by hand while Carl hand paints and glazes each one of them.
