Art From The Heart

September 2022

Friends,

Every fall, Beth Fallaize creates the cutest skeleton mugs to usher us into the new season. Her mugs have become so popular that many years they sell out before we can even put them on display!

This year, in an effort to give our newsletter subscribers a better chance to snag a skeleton mug, we are releasing 20 of her amazing mugs on a first come, first served basis in this edition of our monthly newsletter!

Each mug is only $35 and is microwave and dishwasher safe! Embrace the upcoming fall season, and click the button below to fill out a form to secure your mug! If you are in the first 20 people, you will be notified via email. Please note that mugs can be picked up from our store or shipped to you.

September Artist of the Month: Beth Fallaize

Beth, well-known for her beautiful, yet practical pottery, began her career as a potter in 1973. She remarks that "I never tire of the excitement of working on the wheel. Clay is magic and so therapeutic." She enjoys experimenting with clay and glazes and feels blessed to work at something she loves so much. Each piece is a labor of love and joy.

Genuine Georgia customers enjoy the beauty of Beth's works, some of the favorites being her beloved skeleton mugs and her cabbage design pottery.

Staff Monthly Pick: Carolyn Taylor

Carolyn Taylor is one of the newest members to the Genuine Georgia team. She became familiar with Genuine Georgia through her husband, Sid Taylor who sells his hand-turned twig vases and votives at the Genuine Georgia store. Carolyn is a native of New Zealand and has lived here locally for 14 years. In her spare time, she enjoys learning the craft of weaving and tending to vegetables in the Reynolds community garden.

For this month's staff pick, Carolyn has chosen to spotlight this beautiful ceramic vessel created by seasoned artist Martha Buck. These pieces are adorned with porcupine quill enhancements and colorful beading. Martha often incorporates found objects, such as shells, stones, fossils, and bones into her work.
