Artist Makes Dream Come True in Gatlinburg

September 1, 2013

Robert Alewine graduated from high school with a deep fascination with art. He continued into college, where he fell even more in love with creating art, especially pottery. Over the years, he began to study with other artists, hoping to fulfill his dream of pottery and sculpture. He married in 1975 and moved to to Gatlinburg to begin an artistic journey. He strived to create a life for himself and his family and he succeed with the creation of Alewine Pottery .

Along with fulfilling his dream of becoming an artist, Robert has instilled the love for pottery in the hearts of everyone in his family. He has taught the art of sculpting pottery to family members, including his young grandchildren. Together, the Alewine family is dedicated to creating beautiful pieces of art every day.
