Tennessee Craft–South invites the public to the 21st annual Holiday Studio Tour on the Mountain Saturday, Dec. 3, 10 a.m.–5 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 4, 11 a.m–4 p.m. CST. Tennessee Craft–South is the regional branch of Tennessee Craft, the state-wide organization which supports and promotes all handmade crafts in Tennessee.
More than 25 local and regional artists will show their work, ranging from textiles, sculpture, jewelry, pottery, and glass to paintings, cast bronze, metal work and wood work. The Monteagle studio of Glyn and Will Melnyk has been added this year, featuring the Melnyks’ handwoven textiles. Sewanee artists’ studios open to the public for the Tour include those of Bob Askew, Pippa Browne, Ben Potter, Claire Reishman and Merissa Tobler. Other Sewanee locations displaying work are the American Legion Hall, Locals Gallery, St. Mark’s Hall at Otey Parish, and the Spencer Room at St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School. Light refreshments will be available at most locations.
There are six sponsors for the Holiday Studio Tour this year: the Monteagle Inn, Mooney’s, Shenanigans, Locals, the Sewanee Inn and the Blue Chair. Studio Tour brochures are available at each of these local businesses and at all participating studios. A map is also located on page 7.
