Zach Sierke Pottery

Holiday Home Studio Sales

I am opening my home studio by appointment for holiday pottery sales. Please direct message me to set up an appointment and experience my work in the context of its origins. 

My wood-fired pottery expresses the genius of place. Each meaningful piece of wood-fired ceramic unites the worlds of geology, ecology, the history of human industry, and the community of people that come together for the week long firing event. This is your chance to bring these stories into the daily life of you and your loved ones. -Zach Sierke

Wolfe-Bayview Funeral Homes and Crematory know the holidays are especially hard after the loss of a loved one. To honor grieving families and remind them they're not alone, Wolfe-Bayview Fairhope is hosting a "Night of Remembrance." 

This special service will be held on Tuesday November 10th at 6:30. The Wolfe family asks everyone to bring a Christmas ornament to hang before the service to memorialize their loved one. The tree will stand proudly in the lobby of the Fairhope Funeral Home until after the holidays.  

Since 1998, the Wolfe family has been serving Baldwin County during their most difficult times. This "Night of Remembrance" is a way to give back to those who've turned to Wolfe-Bayview in their time of need. Everyone who's lost someone is welcome. Refreshments and light hors d' oeuvres will be served prior to the service at 6:30.
