Win An Outdoor Adventure In Asheville

Blue Ridge – a dusky dark blue inspired by the mountains we call home – is one of East Fork founder Alex Matisse’s all-time favorite glazes; it visually captures a region rich with story, culture, craft and exploration. And we want to invite you to experience our neck of the woods.

We’re giving one lucky winner an all-expenses-paid trip for two to Asheville, complete with an outdoor day adventure of their choice (mountain biking, climbing, or fly fishing, with expert guides and refreshments!) in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and an epic outdoors-inspired prize package from regional brands we know and love.

Giveaway is open September 15-30, 2022. Must be 21 to enter. No purchase necessary. All details, terms and conditions can be found below. By entering the sweepstakes, you agree to receive communications from East Fork and participating brands.

Entries closed on Friday, September 30. We will be selecting and notifying the lucky winner soon!

Alex's Favorites

Arranging the ideal itinerary had Alex thinking about his favorite ways to relish an evening in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Picture a well-worn wooden table filled with brass, glass, and Alex’s most beloved ceramic vessels glowing beneath a flickering candle. Just add the crackle of oak logs in a wood stove.

Shop a collection curated by Alex with a few of his favorite items for the table below.
