The Penland/Asheville area is teaming with artist craftsman studios, showrooms and galleries.  I merely scratched the surface and was sorry to miss so many others.

Suze and Kent Metz Lindsay Walker Kline studio Britt studioThe Soda Chicks held their annual show and sale at the studio and home of Suze Lindsay and Kent McLaughlin.  Gay Smith from the area joins them and the invited guest artists were two old and dear friends, Matt Metz and Holly Walker.  There happened to be an LSU connection in this mix,  Suze, Holly and I are all alums.

As a class we visited Michael Kline’s studio and he gave us a colored wax demo.  We went to Crimson Laurel Gallery and Mica Gallery, both gems.  Erin Casey and I stopped in to visit John Britt who is working on a much-anticipated Cone 6 book.  So many more studios to see and not enough time…
