In this special program, Christina will demonstrate how she creates the distinctive designs on her wood-fired, salt-glazed pottery. Using colored slips and wax resist, she will paint botanical and bird motifs inspired by the native species of our mountain region.
As she works, Christina will share stories of her journey through the world of ceramics—from her time at the Jackson County Green Energy Park to her connection with North Carolina’s rich pottery heritage. You’ll gain insight into her artistic process, creative inspirations, and the enduring legacy of pottery in our region.

2025-08-30 14:30, 2025-08-30 19:30 | Highlands PAC, 507 Chestnut Street, Highlands, NC, 28741, United States
Siblings from a mining town learn the power of self-reliance in this Appalachian, bluegrass-inspired journey.
Locally known as “The Burnt Part,” the Pickaway Coal Company’s South Mountain closed down after an accident in 1952 that resulted in the death of four miners. Ten years later, Jake Twitchell is an employee of that same company, doing the same job that took his own father’s life. Much to the dismay of his movie-buff younger brother, Pete, the Pickaway Coal Company is going to begin re-mining The Burnt Part and send down the next generation of young men. Inspired by his silver screen heroes, Pete sets out for The Burnt Part with his best friend, a pack full of dynamite, and plans to blow up the mine in hopes of protecting his older brother. This new musical is a dangerous and heartwarming adventure following the journey to discover the importance of the choices we make to protect our family.
