The textiles room is well-equipped, with all the equipment and supplies I could think to need and more! Megan is great! She brings her personal experience with natural dyeing and piecing, and a boatload of patience for our many, many questions. She also adapts her lesson plans to the interests of the group, and the strengths and weaknesses of the students in the group. I'm really pleased that Arrowmont had these community classes for those of us who can neither afford the time nor the prices for the national classes. Thank you, Arrowmont!

This new attraction is a must see if you visit Dollywood. The Dolly Parton Experience is a museum…read morethat falls just short of a shrine to Dolly Parton. This attraction sits in multiple buildings and, if done right, can be a nice respite from the heat and crowds. The one building, Songteller, is a museum that takes you through the life of Dolly and her journey from Tennessee to the world stage. You'll see artifacts and from her career on display. You'll see the items that inspired her for songs, bits from her appearances on television, and her roles on the big screen. The next building that you should visit is the one named Behind The Seams. Here, you will see the wardrobe that Dolly made her mark on style with. You'll see gowns, shoes, and wigs that Ms. Parton, as an icon, wore. This is a rotating exhibit area as there will be many items that you will be able to see over time. The final building is Precious Memories. A theater that performances take place in. I did not view this area, so I cannot speak on this. Along with the buildings there are two other spots to hit up before exiting the area. Dolly's Fan Shop is a great place to pick up souvenirs to take with you. The last being Dolly's Home-On-Wheels, Dolly's tour bus that you can view if you have the patience to wait in line. If you are wore out with all the walking, waiting in line, and rides, come here. It will give you a place to escape the roar outside and see some history.

This review is for the Master's Edition Fine Art Gallery at 1100, Parkway, Gatlinburg ( near the…read morePark Grill and The Black Bear Inn ). There are six locations around Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg with various names. We had the good fortune to meet art consultant, Ed Cothron. He was very patient and knowledgeable regarding the artists and their works. We purchased a Giclée ( reproduction of an original by the best professional ink jet print with high resolution, color, longevity, and in our case; on canvas ). Generally, one rarely will realize a return on this type of investment; so we purchased for the pleasure of the artist's work. In our case, Rod Chase. I did some research and found the pricing to be consistent with similar online sites. However, the framing was significantly more expensive. Mr. Cothron was instrumental in our decision to purchase from the Master's Edition as opposed to online. We had rather pay a little more to have his opinion and benefit of his expertise. The purchase was shipped and arrived timely in pristine condition. Will shop here again.
