Images are from an open house Sunday at Hickory Mountain Weavery near Ramseur, North Carolina. Jean Vollrath, a weaver and weaving instructor has just opened a teaching studio in an old post and beam barn on her historic property. Jean weaves, instructs and provides studio space in a group of log buildings moved onto her property by her late husband Greg Talbott. For more information call 919-742-3325.

Jim Gallucci is a Greensboro sculptor who works in metal. A large part of his work is architectural in nature and he is known for his doors and gates. His sculptures are on display and in installations all over the country. I stopped by his studio/large metal working shop yesterday where he and his staff weld, cut, forge and mold metal, and he was hard at work on a full size model for his latest commission.
