“The reason people need this is the same reason they need to get out in nature or visit a farm. To reconnect. When people come here, they get to meet the artists; they like that. I’m in here being as real as I can because people are buying a part of my life.” ~ Josh […]
“Your dancing feels cooler than it looks when you’re in a giant pint glass costume,” said my Asheville potter son Josh who was looking at pictures of himself break-dancing at the Asheville Idiotarod, a 5K race for awesomeness done while pushing a tricked-out shopping cart.

“Wow. This pot is big. I bet we could fit Bryce in here,” I say to my son Josh as my house and yard are being totally redesigned with pottery in mind. We got the lawn mowed and the dog’s hair cut. The grill is ready to fire up. The sign’s about to be put […]
20 custom-made leather bound journals, some bulging to a height of half a foot, tell a visual story of a personal evolution. “I don’t think of my life as more interesting than someone else’s but I took the time to record it in an interesting way. The themes are universal,” said 30 year-old Josh Copus, […]
