Over the past 50 years I have had the fun of selling whimsical, one-of-a-kind little pottery sculptures at artisan fairs, brick & mortar shops in California, Oregon, New Mexico & Arizona & on ETSY.

Enjoyed by nativity collectors looking for a unique American folk art creche & families starting a Christmas tradition, Ash Creek Nativities have shown up in RV’s, bathrooms (the collector displayed nativities in every room of her home at Christmas!) and even the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, DC in a display of nativities from all 50 states.
