| The John 0. Dodson family began making pottery together in the 1970s in Fortson, Ga.. just north of Columbus. The Mud Dabbers' name was inspired by the dirt daubers, insects who build their nests from mud, that found the family's drying pots the perfect source of building supplies. The smiling Mud Dabber logo, drawn by son John at age 12, symbolizes the joy and happiness the family hopes will be yours in the sharing of their craft. John and Sybil opened their shop south of Brevard, NC in 1988. In 1997, their son Brandon opened the second Mud Dabber's location in Balsam just outside of Waynesville. And in 2000, son John E. and wife Carol moved the original Mud Dabber's from its location at Rockbrook Camp to the nearby historic Powell Store. |
