I came and brought my studio to Loafers Glory and the family farm. The water is clear and cold, running off the Pumkin Patch, down Sweet Creek, just by the studio and into the Cane River. Bakersville, Toecane, Red Hill, Hawk, Bandana, Fork Mountain,Glen Ayre and Buladean are common names for the communities here under the Roan. Many craftspeople have made their way here, set up their studios, started their families and have become a part of the community. POTTERS OF THE ROAN have promoted professionalism of clay artist and has become a strong voice for these families. Many are well known, some just getting their feet wet, but all are enjoying life a little better, under the Roan. See for yourself, come, kick your shoes off , cool your heels in Sweet Creek. Bring your fly rod, the trout are biting. I hope you will enjoy my work and this tour of the things that make up my world. Stop by on your way and say Hi. Ron Slagle  |

 I like the ability to progress from one media to another and not hesitate to capture a moment that has life and fulfillment in the final brush stroke or turn of the wheel. |

| Since 1971,
Ron has developed a
unique style of work, that is an accumulation of his various interest
in techniques, peoples, and cultures to express a view. Figurative,
patterned, and painterly images adorn the work. Expressions of gentle
gestures, earth tones lite by fire, and shapes that are familiar but
show a love for construction and alteration. |
