First, a week at the spa! The Grove Park Inn and Spa,
located in Asheville, NC. The Grove Park Inn is a classic grand resort, built
in 1913. Austin highly recommends The
Grove Park Inn to anyone that REALLY needs to get away
and wants to enjoy a five star spa experience.

Austin's pictures (series #2)
"I am thrilled with my initial results and
am looking forward
to getting everything out of the kiln (reduction, soda and salt), stay tuned
for pictures! I plan to fire work in soda, salt, wood and
high-fire reduction kilns at Penland. The facilities at the school are
fantastic, everything is at my finger-tips! I generally arrive in the
studio around 10:00 a.m. and work until 2 a.m., studios at Penland are
open 24/7. Everyone is incredibly friendly and generous with
recommendations and helpful tips; this is what heaven must be like (well, at
least for potters)!"
