Art at Ladybug Farm is a small craft sale with an eclectic blend of fine craft and farm products. This year's show has several awesome new artists and we'll also be welcoming Botanist & Barrel, a hyper-local cider maker from just up the road in Cedar Grove! FullSteam Brewery will also be on hand serving local brews. Plus a food truck, too!
Ladybug Farm is a small farm owned and operated by Evelyn and Aaron Ward in Hurdle Mills, NC, a rural community 30 miles north of Durham and 15 miles north of Hillsborough. It's home to pasture raised chickens and Evelyn's pottery studio. Ladybug Farm makes a lovely setting for a craft sale with perennial gardens, an old farmhouse, pastures and rustic barns.

Get ready for the holidays with handmade porcelain works of art
Each invited artist has a unique approach to surface, and Life’s Rich Textures will share some of the many ways that visual texture, both created in the clay or applied to the surface, adds a personal artist voice to traditional utilitarian pottery and vessel forms. Viewed together, this work will celebrate life’s rich pageant of ceramics (with a wink to REM and one of our favorite albums from our teenage years!).
Participating artists include Jeff Campana, Gabo Martinez, Didem Mert, Matt Mitros, Gillian Parke, Ashlyn Pope, Lauren Sandler, and Eric Van Eimeren.
