Burritt On The Mountain

Sanders Family Christmas Play in the Old Country Church
produced by Southern Rogue Theatre Company
Performance: December 15th at 7:00 p.m.
The Sanders Family is back at Burritt this December. Southern Rogue Theatre Company and Burritt on the Mountain pair together to bring this hilarious musical favorite to the community. Conceived by Alan Bailey and penned by Connie Ray, this famous sequel of Smoke on the Mountain returns to the Old Country Church at Burritt on the Mountain.
We’ll return to Mount Pleasant, North Carolina, on Christmas Eve of 1941. Reverend Oglethorpe has invited the Sanders to the Baptist Church to sing and witness, thereby getting the congregation into the down-home holiday spirit before the boys, including one of the Sanders’ own, ship off to World War II. The congregation will hear more than two-dozen Christmas carols, many of them vintage hymns, and hilarious yuletide stories from the more or less devout Sanders family members. The play is set in a church which makes the Old Country Church the perfect venue.

Deadline to Register: Saturday, November 4th at 5:00pm
Title: Ceramics: “Introduction to Wheel Throwing”

If you cannot make the glazing class, you may choose a color and the instructor will glaze it for you.
Please keep in mind that throwing on the pottery wheel is a skill that can take many years to master. This is an opportunity to get your hands dirty and see what wheel throwing is all about. Participants will have the option to keep one to two of your creations to be fired and glazed.

Deadline to Register: October 13th, 2023 at 5:00 pm
Title: Master Workshop: “Leather Crafting with Tom Slavicek”

Description: You will have time to work on 3 or more projects depending on size and complexity in this three day workshop. Choices for your projects can be from the following: Make a leather shoulder bag or two, learn how to use a wood burning tool to inscribe a design onto the leather and then colorize it, depending on time make a small backpack, a couple of leather belts, passport wallet, journal, belt pouch for your phone, instrument strap, lady’s wallet, clutch purse, and more. All leathers, materials, tools, and instructions are provided, along with templates. If you have an idea for a leather project you can bring it and can make it real. As time allows you can learn how to make tassels and fringe to add to your projects. No artistic ability is necessary, nor is any previous leather working experience. You do not need to bring anything except your enthusiasm, and your desire to make something beautiful! Please add to the notes section upon checking which projects from the list above you want to make.

Instructor: Tom Slavicek has been leather crafting since he was a Boy Scout, when he earned his Leatherwork Merit Badge on his way to becoming an Eagle Scout. During his career days as an executive director for a national youth organization, his hobby managed to stay alive and thrive in the form of creating numerous Native American leather/beadwork outfits and articles of clothing, along with his favorite item, hand-crafted leather pouches and shoulder bags.
After a 37-year career serving young people, Tom retired in 2010 and he and his wife, Karen, moved to Dahlonega, GA. His enjoyment of working with leather is coming to fruition through his crafting of various styles of pouches and bags, with the added feature of inscribed images on the front of the pouches. Tom uses a wood-burning tool to inscribe the images free hand directly onto the leather. Each pouch is a unique work of art, and no two are alike. He also crafts leather belts, wallets, journals, backpacks, and more. Tom teaches leather classes at about a dozen venues across north Georgia and North Carolina, including the John C. Campbell Folk School (North Carolina), Camp Mikell Folk School (Toccoa, GA), Arrowmont (Gatlinburg, TN) and the William Holland School of Lapidary Arts, at Young Harris.

If a cancellation is requested 14 to 29 days from a class date, a refund of half the total price can be issued.
