Come take a class with me at my workshop in Walhalla, SC. I offer one, two and five day classes as well as half day classes. Check ‘em out.

WELCOME

My name is Katie Cahn and this is my shop.

The name Dirt Road Wares comes from the places I feel most at home. I grew up in a cabin in the woods at the end of a long dirt road. I found inspiration in the wildness that surrounded me in those woods and have been creating art since childhood. It's taken me a while, but I'm settled in now, in a home with a husband, kid, dogs… and a dirt road to round it all out. Thanks so much for being here.
