Beading, needlework focus of crafting demonstrations

Written by 

art craftdemosCraft demonstrations at Dogwood Crafters in Dillsboro during the next week include beading by Nan Smith and punch needlework by Jeri Buek.

 

Smith will use beads to create spiders for Halloween decorations and demonstrate how to take beading beyond jewelry from 2-5 p.m. Sept. 13.

Buek will demonstrate miniature punch needlework, which captures the look of antique hooked rugs on a small scale, from 2-4 p.m. Sept. 18. Buek will have materials available for those wishing to try their hand at this craft and will offer instruction and assistance.

Smith and Buek’s works are for sale at the shop in Dillsboro. Dogwood Crafters is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with evening hours until 9 p.m. in October.

    art garretIt was the reason I came to the South.

    Situated in the southeastern corner of Tennessee, the city of Chattanooga is a rapidly growing, bustling hub of culture and commerce in Southern Appalachia. Like Asheville, both cities went through hard times following the end of their manufacturing eras. Each became stagnant, searching for an identity that eventually evolved into prosperous havens for artists, musicians, chefs, craft brewers, etc.

    We have lots of bug barns in our house: from the old-fashioned Mason jar with holes punched in the lid to a new-fangled, plastic-domed “ladybug playground” with tiny slides and such.

     

    I wager in most families bug barns are relegated to the backyard. Ours, however, take up residence on the kitchen table, with up to four bug barns simultaneously occupied by caterpillars, ants, moths, beetles and even spiders.
