A rainy day had us out to Spruce Pine, NC and the gem show. Wow!
On to the Penland School of Craft.
Lucy Morgan built a cabin on a Ford truck and drove from Penland, NC to The World’s Fair in Chicago selling crafts and showing others the craft making abilities of this region in 1935. She is legacy here.
Actual truck.
The gallery. Incredible. Did not do it justice.
Stay dry. Big peace out Tres
So you’re riding up in North Carolina? Will you be around Asheville this Saturday, August 5th? I’ll probably head up there for the day just to hang out and cruise around and chill out. I’d love to overlap. Mike Savicki
Tres, covering some ground. Exciting places to be sure. Jim
Another nice trip
Thanks fir Sharing
Nice Tres.
Interesting story about Lucy. Some of my tribe live in Davis WV. They teach weaving on room size looms, some of which they brought with them from NH. Ellinore Roosevelt was involved in the movement to bring crafts to the Appalachian Mtns.
Very cool about the craft truck. Also, I love the last image/painting.
Safe travels
