Honored by the Texas Commission on the Arts as a “Texas Original” artist!
Bridget Hauser and Sunset Canyon Pottery have been selected to be one of the first to be honored by the Texas Commission on the Arts as a “Texas Original”. As such, the Texas Commission on the Arts (TCA) is providing opportunities for potential collectors and customers to learn about her and other Texas Artists on their web site www.txoriginal.com. By visiting this site you can learn about the cultural influences that shape their work and have the contact information necessary to become a supporter by purchasing a piece for your own collection.

“I am honored to be selected for this program and proud to live in a state that truly supports my choice to be an artist/craftsman. I welcome all visitors as future patrons, not only for myself but all Texas Craftspeople. I am looking forward to seeing what my exposure by the TCA, through this unique program, will do for my business.” Bridget Hauser

“Texas is home to thousands of talented craft artisans working in a wide variety of mediums,” said Rick Hernandez, TCA’s Executive Director. “TCA is proud to provide this opportunity to not only the artists, but also to all those who will learn about these artists and support them by purchasing their products. TCA is dedicated to strengthening and preserving the arts and crafts industry in Texas by working in direct support of individual artists.”
