Collection: Asheville Artist Mug Auction - RAFFLE TICKET for Melissa Weiss Pottery

This Hand Mug I scooped up in triumph during one of Asheville Potter Melissa's feeding frenzy of a sold out shop update back in 2021.  She ALWAYS sells out, and quickly, so I felt like I had won the lottery! Her work is highly collectible, and she lost everything in Hurricane Helene last week. My heart breaks for the artists who have sustained such immeasurable loss during the storm, and I want to help.  I've taken this mug off my kitchen shelf, ONE OF MY FAVORITES, and have put it up for auction. 

100% of this raffle will go back to Melissa, as she has suffered complete devastation of her studio and everything in it, much like every other working artist in Asheville and the greater WNC. She is an inspiring part of the grassroots community efforts on the ground in Asheville I've seen through the squares of Instagram, and I have plenty of great mugs, but this one is hers and so that feels poignant. 

You may purchase this listing AS A RAFFLE TICKET.  You may purchase as many as you like.  Each $20 entry will count as one raffle ticket.  I will draw from a hat, or maybe this mug, a name for the keeping. I will ship directly to you, and you will have a OOAK Melissa Weiss Pottery mug!  

Please tell your friends, and consider what small effort you can contribute in a world gone crazy. If one mug counts...
