Pine Mills Pottery Annual Studio Events
Pine Mills Pottery hosts two annual Open House events here at the studio and gallery every year, on Memorial Day Weekend and on Thanksgiving Weekend. We also show & sell our work in Dallas every April at the Dallas Pottery Invitational, every October in Gruene (pronounced "green"), near New Braunfels at the Texas Clay Festival and again in Dallas every December at the Randy Brodnax Christmas Show. These are all very fun events, worth checking out.
Call or contact Daphne (903.857.2271) at Pine Mills Pottery for details, or if you want to be on our mailing list for our studio shows or other events we participate in. I send out a card or a secure opt-out-able email for each show.

I hope you’ll make it out for the weekend. There will be three demonstration areas going on continuously during both days, in addition to the displays of 50+ Texas potters showing and selling their work. It is a fun town and area with many interesting shops and eateries.
If you plan to stay in a motel, bed & breakfast or “river house”, you should go ahead and make your reservations now. http://www.touringtexas.com/gruene/ (Gruene is on the Comal River where all of the tubing adventures take place. It is a famous, historical district with old “river houses” built as weekend homes along the river. Many can be rented.

Gruene Hall (Texas oldest dance hall and a great music venue) is a very fun venue, which you can add to your weekend's agenda. Purchase tickets now for a performance if you are interested. Those performances sell out far in advance, as well. At least go in during the day and have a beer! Preferably Shiner!

The Randy Brodnax Christmas Show at Sons of Hermann Hall, Dallas, Texas
December 13-14-15, 2013 Dallas
This is a very high quality art and craft fair held at an historic old dance hall in Deep Ellum---you can get a cocktail and walk around and do all of your Christmas shopping—not a bad way to shop!
In mid-December, Randy Brodnax hosts a show at the Sons of Hermann Hall (located at 3414 Elm where Elm & Exposition intersect) in Deep Ellum, Dallas. The Sons of Hermann Hall is an historic old dance hall and bowling alley and a great place to gather together. About 40 artisans of all kinds gather here to offer the public another chance to get one-of-a-kind Christmas presents. Randy (a Cajun fellow) makes some dadgum good Gumbo (ie: 50 gallons). The bartender makes some drinks. The musicians make some music. We have a great time.
Held the second weekend in December each year at the Sons of Hermann Hall in Deep Ellum, Dallas.
