I am finally back from Brasstown, NC and getting ready for the market this Saturday. This is the first and last market I will run for the foreseeable future, and I hope to see many of you there.
I was lucky to be in Western North Carolina during “leaf season”, I didn’t mean to be a “leafer” but I can definitely see the appeal. I will send a full report about John C. Campbell on Friday, with pictures! If you want to talk about going to the Folk School, let me know. I went on a scholarship so my weeklong class, all meals, and loging were 100% FREE. I also got to make over 100 prints in class. I worked 10-12 hours each day in the printmaking studio and it was an amazing experience.
