"I have had a love affair with clay for most of my life. My passion now is in creating unique ceramic wall art using wildflowers and plants."
- Arlene Knaak

For nearly 30 years I have exhibited in many shows in Tennessee, Louisiana, Florida, Kentucky and even New York. I couldn't have done this without my John dutifully helping me. My first show was the second annual TACA Fair in Nashville circa 1972-73 along with some other students from Pat Beaver's clay class. We had not heard about craft shows at that time! We set up our wares on straw bales and hung clay chimes and beaded jewelry on barn wood panels. I am happy that I was a part of that era. Several years ago I began selling only through galleries and online. You may now simply email me to place an order and John will carefully pack it up for you!
