A Visit to Atlanta, Part 4 - Folk Art

I'm back after being momentarily engrossed in numbers and tax returns - it's that time of the year! Today I'm going to show you one of my favorite exhibits at the Atlanta History Center. The folk art exhibit. 
One of my favorite parts of that was all the fabulous pottery, much of which was made by the Meaders Family (I included a video about them a little further down).
Daniel and I love pottery and you can see it all around our home. And one of these days we'll add a face jug to our collection!









The video below is a short documentary I found on YouTube on the Meaders Family and worth watching.

Of course, there were other pieces of folk art that were also gorgeous!







So now there will be just one more blog post about our Atlanta Trip with some of my favorite photos. I've also been painting a little and will have more art to show you soon!

I hope you are all enjoying spring and the return of warmer weather! We are in a stretch of perfect temperatures and are enjoying it thoroughly!
