Mother’s Day sale at
Mudmusic Studio May 12
Each year, ceramics artist
Mike Schwartz hosts a
Mother’s Day sale at his
Mudmusic Studio.
This year, the date for the
sale is the weekend of
Mother’s Day, Friday May 12
through Sunday May 14, from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
You are invited to see
Mike’s pit fired ceramics,
which over the years have won
numerous awards.
Pit firing is an ancient form
of firing clay that predates the
advent of the kiln. As he
describes his pieces,
“No glazes are used,the col-
ors you see are due to the inter-
action of fire and smoke work-
ing on the salts and metals that
I treat my pots with. Each piece
is thrown on my potter’s wheel
and after firing, is a one of a
kind creation never to be redu-
plicated. Words aren’t good
enough, you have to see these
pieces for yourselves,” he says.
Mike loves to talk about and
show his work to visitors and
clients.
Mike’s art is on year round
display at the River Gallery in
Coastal Gem Walkers’
next jaunt set for May 2
Join th Coastal Gem
Walkers on Tuesday, May 2, as
the group walks the Three
Lakes YRE near Florence.
Walkers will meet at the
Commons in Yachats at 9 a.m.
to carpool to Florence, or meet
at The Sportsman, 249
Highway 101, in Florence, at
9:45 to register.
This 10K walk has mostly
flat terrain and good footing.
It is not appropriate for wheel-
chairs and difficult for
strollers.

welcome on walks, but be sure
you bring water and clean up
materials for pets. A sturdy 6-
foot leash — not the
retractable type — is required.
