"I am intrigued with the many facets of ceramics, a never-ending myriad of techniques, methods, and materials. The one thing about clay that has always fascinated me is that it is so malleable, formable, responding to and capturing the touch and spirit of the artist, and then, once fired, is forever 'permanent'"
- M.L. Moss
Owned by M.L. "Sonny" Moss, Mud Creek’s large gallery offers a wide range of glazed, hand-thrown ceramic bowls, plates, cups, and sculptures.
Next to the store is an outdoor haven: a vine-covered seating area where visitors and friends of Sonny's can sit and chat, or meditate to the soothing music piped in through outdoor speakers while gazing at the works of pottery cemented into the exterior wall.
Farther down the block there is a large studio where townsfolk rent studio space and ceramics students can take classes in wheel throwing, hand-building, and raku, a Japanese method of glazing pottery that dates back to the 16th century and uses smoke and fire to create beautiful unique patterns.
Winner of the D.A. “Andy” Anderson Award, the longest standing and most distinguished award presented by the Arts Council of Brazos Valley, M.L. "Sonny" Moss, creates true works of art from fired clay.
