Many of the artists were present and available. The main person I was there to see wasn't there because she was at a festival. She designs the Ukrainian eggs. Wow is she talented! She also shared space with an artist that we bought several items from. If you like local art then this place is great. You are likely to find something you will want and hopefully buy. Highly recommended. We will be back.

It was beautifully organized and such a joy to be surrounded by neighbors, all creating something together. I'm genuinely excited to see our tile incorporated into the final piece.

Being in the space was inspiring and see us going back in the future when our baby is bigger to do so more creative projects. So much art to see and all made right here.

I nearly literally stumbled upon Elizabeth's studio in Riverview Station. I saw the work of the…read moreartist next door at Woolworth's Walk earlier in the week, and was peeking into the studio to see what was in her studio. Another artist who I'd purchased a piece from passed me in the hallway and mentioned Elizabeth's work, which is beautiful; like a fairy tale. I returned the following day and Elizabeth's studio happened to be open so I stopped in. Wow. I'm gobsmacked by Elizabeth's talent and how evocative her work is. The one piece I was able to see most clearly the day before was incredibly large and took up most of the wall facing the glass door, so I was so pleased to be able to go inside and see more. She has cards, prints of various sizes (most or all of them mounted to mat board), and when I was there framed and unframed pieces. She was working on something when I stopped in and it was neat to see her at work. She is warm and welcoming, and told me a bit about the work she's doing and the colors and elements that have been coming up in her work of late. I found two pieces in particular that I wanted (well... I wanted more, but one was a commission and one was more than I could comfortably afford at the moment), both quite different, but beautifully framed. The frame itself is a work of art, to be quite honest, and sets off the paintings beautifully. In the end, I wasn't able to decide between the two and took both of them. I spent more than I had intended to be sure, but I don't regret it one bit. Adding to my excitement is that these are the first pieces of original artwork I've ever owned! I can't wait to get them up in my home. I really appreciate Elizabeth being so generous with her time and giving me some insight into her background and process. It makes it more personal to me, and I'm so pleased to be able to enjoy her beautiful work. I'd love to commission a piece from her one day to complement the magic of these pieces. If you visit her you won't be disappointed, but you may leave with your wallet a bit lighter.

Went here the other day for a walk in Wednesday special. It was $19 when we selected one from a…read morepreset list. The hours for the walk in Wednesday were like 10 to 2 or something similar - lunchtime. When we got there, the lady was quite frazzled and seemed a little bit overwhelmed. I think they had a pretty large showing of people. She was super sweet though and excited about walking Wednesday being every day in April. We wanted to go again, but couldn't really find concrete online evidence as to whether it was Wednesday or just that one. Either way, it was a super good deal, and it was kind of fun to have a little lunch date at a very affordable price. The lady working was incredibly helpful and explaining what to do, but also letting us have space. The whole project only took about 30 minutes so it was pretty quick. My partner and I chose the same one because it was simply the coolest offered. They did have a good amount of choices though, and certainly something for everyone was available. After you choose your piece and your sticker, they show you how to apply different paint colors and we went to work. I kind of wish there was a little more involvement because we took our time and it still took only 30-45 minutes. Curious about how this is a BYOB because I would've barely had time to have a drink. Maybe some of the other projects are a bit more involved? it seems like they have some events that happened throughout the week and of course they are famous for parties and I'm sure that probably takes longer to get set up and stuff. Overall, this place is pretty close to town and was totally worth it as a spot to stop. we thought the quality of the products was really high and the guidance was appropriate. The studio is clean and inviting.

Stumbled upon this cute little park area as we were driving around exploring side roads from Old…read moreFort to Asheville. What a gem! This little community center seems to have a lot to offer: - The playground is a lot of fun- both our kids, ages 4 & 7, loved it! A well-kept wooden playground with swings (3 regular & 1 baby swing), a seesaw, a tire swing, and a big plastic sea monster for climbing. - Short paved walking loop with some benches, picnic tables and grill, and 1 of those little exercise stops and a creek flowing by (great for kids to splash around in!) - Large grassy field - Basketball court (half court) - Community garden - Large picnic table area with covered pavilion - Leashed dogs allowed (please pick up after them - there are poop bags along the sidewalk) The community center appears to be closed right now and I haven't checked out the website yet but there's a board with some info by the playground. It seems like they offer yoga classes (Free maybe? Says "donations accepted"), there's an ad for reiki healing, and a whole calendar of events for children and adults. This center definitely seems to run on donations and volunteers. We were happy to contribute to the painted metal donation post by the playground. Peaceful, safe, beautiful park areas like this are hard to find these days. We're passing through, as we're just frequent vacationers to the area, but I hope the community keeps up this little local gem!
