Mount

A Main Street of low limestone storefronts on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada, in Calaveras County. The town began as a gold camp staked by the Murphy brothers in August 1848; the buildings that went up through the 1850s are mostly the same ones that line the street today. The Murphys Hotel guest register carries the names of Mark Twain, Ulysses S. Grant, and Black Bart. Those storefronts now pour Calaveras County wine instead of taking gold out of the creek. Cooler than the Central Valley below, an hour's drive from the giant sequoias at Calaveras Big Trees.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
