This is Mother's Day weekend and we anticipate beautiful weather and lots of people out enjoying the neighborhood and exploring Asheville!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Artists may now apply for single months!  We've had great response and some good feedback to the Market, and many artists let us know that it was a bit daunting to commit to three months at a time.  We want to build a vibrant Market, and we want to offer the best opportunity for artists to show their work and build their businesses, so we're adjusting the policy to allow artists to apply for any individual or multiple months.  If you've already applied and would like to adjust your application dates, just contact Lori via the email you have, there's no need to re-apply!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* East West Asheville and Crazy Green Studios are pleased to co-sponsor a special event for Empty Bowls on Saturday, April 11.  This event will offer functional pottery made by members of Crazy Green Studios and area artists.  Patrons will also be able to go 'hands-on' by decorating a bisque fired bowl.  These bowls will be glazed, fired, and offered for sale at the annual Empty Bowls luncheon on World Food Day in October.  All sale proceed for items sold 'under the tent' on April 11 will benefit Manna Food Bank.  Stay tuned for more info on this event!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8088325595660446201-4409694591153179705?l=eastwestasheville.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eastwestasheville.blogspot.com/feeds/4409694591153179705/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8088325595660446201&amp;postID=4409694591153179705' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8088325595660446201/posts/default/4409694591153179705'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8088325595660446201/posts/default/4409694591153179705'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eastwestasheville.blogspot.com/2009/03/2nd-saturday-artist-market-updates.html' title='2nd Saturday Artist Market Updates!'/><author><name>CGS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15073741519220163535</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-otjzg9kuOmg/Tbwi4CXLOTI/AAAAAAAADmc/132Su_6DLHk/s220/LT.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088325595660446201.post-9180555250828089003</id><published>2009-02-15T10:43:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-03-21T16:12:03.241-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='East West Asheville'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Domino Lane Studios'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mimi Strang Design'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2nd Saturday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Crazy Green Studios'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Artist Market'/><title type='text'>2nd Saturday Artist Market!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nuCjrfwMs5M/ScVz00DLwiI/AAAAAAAABSU/ANnNxHhfvYk/s1600-h/2ndSatlogo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 302px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nuCjrfwMs5M/ScVz00DLwiI/AAAAAAAABSU/ANnNxHhfvYk/s320/2ndSatlogo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315782286343127586" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;EAST WEST ASHEVILLE PRESENTS 2nd SATURDAY ARTIST MARKET&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Monthly market to promote artists and community&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;If you were lucky enough to discover East West Asheville during the Holiday Art Walk last&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;year, you’re going to love 2nd Saturday Artist Market!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;The East West Asheville 2nd Saturday Artist Market will feature a select, juried group of visual&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;artists, craftspeople and musicians.

My background in pottery includes four plus years of classes at a teaching studio in Washington DC (&lt;a href="http://www.hinckleypottery.com/"&gt;Hinckley Pottery&lt;/a&gt;), multiple demonstration and hands on workshops and a two-year Residency at the Odyssey Center for Ceramic Arts in Asheville.   My work is functional, high-fired stoneware and is available direct from my studio and in several retail and gallery locations throughout North Carolina and Georgia. My work reflects my influences from Asian art and pottery, but also refects my own interest in texture.  The textures can be tactile or visual, obvious or those that are discovered only by spending time with a piece, and more importantly, by using a piece.  In addition to my own studio work, commission orders are available for bridal registries, fireplace tiles and logo-branded functional and decorative ware for all sorts of business needs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://crazygreenstudios.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 138px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nuCjrfwMs5M/SS3jHeLaX1I/AAAAAAAAA-A/hg-6cx-uZak/s200/LTheriaultSwirlyCups.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273120456220237650" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;br /&gt;'swirly cups', Lori Theriault&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm so happy to be a part of this growing and eclectic West Asheville neighborhood, and I'm very happy to offer open studio access to new and aspiring potters.  With membership, you can come to the studio anytime during open hours and have use of the facility, including tools, clay, glazes and firings.  And if you need some help getting started, you'll get instruction too!

"I love it that my mugs are bouncing around in many cars and trucks in Asheville and beyond.  I sometimes wish I could see a snapshot of where they are now."

I have unequivocally and absolutely been a scavenger and collector all of my life. As a child, it was nature’s objects that struck my fancy such as rocks, driftwood, dried up bird’s eggs and seed pods, bits of shell and bone.  But, also hoarded away were pieces of colored glass, marbles, keys, and pennies flattened on a railroad track.  All of these treasures were brought out often and arranged and rearranged for my own visual pleasure and then put back in their brown paper bags and cigar boxes which were also carefully arranged on a shelf in my parent’s basement. As a young adult my obsessive scavenging included larger “treasures” like broken furniture, old roof tin, architectural pieces, and other found objects. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;My three-dimensional works consists of these found objects. Nothing that is potentially useful is left behind. Even recycled bolts, screws, nails, and bailing wire are used in each hand-built piece. I often use an assemblage process which yields figurative and rather anatomic works. Through this process each piece becomes a representation of someone I know, or a caricature of a personality that has struck me in some way. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nuCjrfwMs5M/SSykicFxxSI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/AvYPvaZG4iw/s1600-h/IMG_8799-final.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nuCjrfwMs5M/SSykicFxxSI/AAAAAAAAA9Y/AvYPvaZG4iw/s200/IMG_8799-final.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272770175306941730" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;I am also a painter and often combine my painted works with my sculpture, using the assembled works as a backdrop for the paintings.  I take inspiration from the Southern rural landscape, the people and creatures I have known or seen, and childhood memories of growing up in the South. Therefore it seems appropriate to place my paintings amongst the objects and materials that I have salvaged throughout the Southeast, these remnants of the past. In a sense, many of my assemblage works are collaborations between myself and others I never knew but through the creative process I feel a connection to and a deep appreciation for them, their craftsmanship, hard work, and the contributions and sacrifices they made.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;When painting, I also often find myself drawn to the domestic animal and vegetable world when choosing my subjects. It’s a complicated world we live in, but when I look into the eyes of one of these canine, bovine, feline, or equine friends I find solace. I also find comfort in digging in the soil, and making plants grow, and tending them. There is simplicity, wisdom, tenderness, and very often humor there that cannot be found anywhere else.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;As our ever-changing, fast paced society replaces old with new, I find magic on some level by resurrecting small parts of the past and making them new through artistic expression. I am continually in awe of and inspired by the people in my life and the furry and feathered creatures and the fruits of this good earth. I want the viewer to see and maybe remember something and smile. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nuCjrfwMs5M/SSylakkNh4I/AAAAAAAAA9g/CnlGIpQ1koM/s1600-h/IMG_4849-final.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 144px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nuCjrfwMs5M/SSylakkNh4I/AAAAAAAAA9g/CnlGIpQ1koM/s200/IMG_4849-final.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5272771139654748034" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;“My works and images are simple and true-no dissection necessary.

They started Custom for three reasons:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 - they wanted to create a place that would serve as an interesting and fun platform to get women involved in helping other women...which has led to several fund raisers and plans for more&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2 - they wanted to have a shop where "women could actually come and buy something."  One of their main goals is to be very cute and affordable.  They believe there is something empowering about how a new outfit can make you feel, and it's no good walking into a shop and loving something but not being able to afford it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3 - a very important reason for anyone to go into their business: they both love fashion!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nuCjrfwMs5M/SSWfeGxUtLI/AAAAAAAAA64/MMVsXMF_qPo/s1600-h/200808181554-DSC_0190.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nuCjrfwMs5M/SSWfeGxUtLI/AAAAAAAAA64/MMVsXMF_qPo/s200/200808181554-DSC_0190.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270794278469416114" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their fundraisers have also been 'fun' raising as well.

A recent cocktail party with silent auction raised around $1200 for the All My Sisters Fund (created by ABCCM).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next fundraiser will be the annual clothing swap, on March 2.  Go early, and if you see something you like, you'd better hang on to it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Michelle and Tammy will have special promotions and beverages at the Art Walk, and they're currently working on some live music ... stay tuned!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nuCjrfwMs5M/SSWfis-0iQI/AAAAAAAAA7A/Wr1Z3m7jKp8/s1600-h/200808181607-DSC_0240.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

It is owned and              operated by Matt Schnable and Mark Capon, two young bucks who probably              know less about music than many of you think. But that's ok; because              of this, they won't scoff at or judge your musical tastes.

And while you're here you can even take a nap on the couch.&lt;/span&gt;                &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;             In addition to carrying such items, Harvest Records is taking a shot              at show promotion, bringing regional, national and even international              acts to perform in Asheville. We use local venues and art spaces such              as The Wedge, The Grey Eagle, and even the store itself.&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;             Harvest Records has already brought the likes of the Microphones,              Mirah, Tara Jane O'Neil, Mountain Goats, Orthrelm, Little Wings, Growing,              Mono, Kayo Dot and more, hopefully continuing doing what we love.&lt;/span&gt;               &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;            &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please stop in and say hello anytime.

Stefan has worked primarily            in steel since 1995. Various techniques are used to create the sculptures.            Some are found object assemblages. Some use traditional forge methods.            Some are actually carved out of steel. Many incorporate combinations            of these in the process, but nothing is cast and no two works are alike.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nuCjrfwMs5M/SP-mnbFjEdI/AAAAAAAAAwY/neNjUYt507A/s1600-h/DSC01307.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nuCjrfwMs5M/SP-mnbFjEdI/AAAAAAAAAwY/neNjUYt507A/s200/DSC01307.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260106086008164818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;  &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;new work: Mr. Wind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Artist Statement:&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="style5"  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stefan was born on Long Island, NY in 1969. Shortly thereafter, he moved to Greenville, SC and then to Asheville, NC at the age of five.&lt;br /&gt;     &lt;br /&gt;Crediting his mother for his artistic visions, Stefan began showing interest in creative projects as early as kindergarten and first grade. The big leap into an art career didn't happen until he was inspired by Howard Munson of The San Francisco Art Institute, who recognized Stefan's talent. With the help of Munson's coaching and rekindling of artistic attention, Stefan proceeded to co-create a retail outlet in Asheville, showcasing over 200 artists including his own works.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;His media of that period, 1989-1995, included works of fabric, leather, airbrushing, acrylic painting, graphic design, and mixed media assemblages. The need to attach metal objects led to welding classes at Asheville-Bumcombe Technical College, followed by apprenticeships with several metal artists including Reed Todd of Asheville.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Metal became the primary focus of Stefan's work as "Steebo Design" in July of 1995. The main emphasis is on functional art, lighting, furniture, and garden sculpture, with a style ranging from folk art to high design.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Working almost solely in recycled found objects, Stefan's work continues to evolve and improve daily as the list of collectors also grows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8088325595660446201-3476169553915764454?l=eastwestasheville.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eastwestasheville.blogspot.com/feeds/3476169553915764454/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8088325595660446201&amp;postID=3476169553915764454' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8088325595660446201/posts/default/3476169553915764454'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8088325595660446201/posts/default/3476169553915764454'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eastwestasheville.blogspot.com/2008/10/participant-spotlight-steebo-design.html' title='Participant Spotlight: Steebo Design'/><author><name>CGS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15073741519220163535</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-otjzg9kuOmg/Tbwi4CXLOTI/AAAAAAAADmc/132Su_6DLHk/s220/LT.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nuCjrfwMs5M/SP-nN2WzNbI/AAAAAAAAAwg/kHiQLDk-aCU/s72-c/logo-1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088325595660446201.post-7250399370580564663</id><published>2008-10-22T15:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2008-11-11T14:10:47.612-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Holiday Art Walk'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='East West Asheville'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Event Map'/><title type='text'>East West Art Walk: Event Map</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nuCjrfwMs5M/SRoC34V5NpI/AAAAAAAAA4Q/xZW3FZXCYik/s1600-h/EastWest-walk08.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 122px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nuCjrfwMs5M/SRoC34V5NpI/AAAAAAAAA4Q/xZW3FZXCYik/s200/EastWest-walk08.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267525873203492498" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Click to enlarge - our event is conveniently located in West Asheville along Haywood Road between 355 - 520 Haywood, and including Domino Lane which is just off Westwood Place.

But in the past year alone, several new businesses have inhabited buildings along and adjoining Haywood Road immediately east and west of I-240.  These new additions have expanded the mercantile strip of Haywood Road, creating another hub of eclectic businesses to draw drive by and walk by patrons into West Asheville.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Saturday, December 6, several artists and businesses, including several that have opened within the past year, will host a Holiday Art Walk to welcome the holiday season and celebrate the diverse and growing small businesses of the area.  Designated the “East West Asheville Holiday Art Walk”, the parameters of the event span the area on Haywood Road on both sides of I-240, and include Domino Lane – a side street off Westwood Place.  Participating businesses include the Bloom Room, Blue Ribbon Hair, Minx and Runny Bunny, just west of I-240 on Haywood Road.  On the east side, Haywood Road merchants include The Admiral Restaurant, Harvest Records, Blue Barnhouse, A Touch of Glass, Bookworks, Custom, Marty Mitchell Glass, Krug Creative and Steebo Designs.  Crazy Green Studios, Mimi Strang Design and Pleasant Hugh Studio are located on Domino Lane.  At press time, additional businesses were being added but had not yet been confirmed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With ample street parking on Haywood Road and on adjoining side streets, all businesses can easily be reached on foot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8088325595660446201-6385018321419976074?l=eastwestasheville.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://eastwestasheville.blogspot.com/feeds/6385018321419976074/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8088325595660446201&amp;postID=6385018321419976074' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8088325595660446201/posts/default/6385018321419976074'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8088325595660446201/posts/default/6385018321419976074'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://eastwestasheville.blogspot.com/2008/10/east-west-asheville-holiday-art-walk.html' title='The East West Asheville Holiday Art Walk'/><author><name>CGS</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15073741519220163535</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-otjzg9kuOmg/Tbwi4CXLOTI/AAAAAAAADmc/132Su_6DLHk/s220/LT.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nuCjrfwMs5M/SP4iT8ieklI/AAAAAAAAAsQ/KEIbEWLY_zE/s72-c/holidayartwalk4.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
