Around the Clay Studio

Walk with me around the Clay Studio today.

Many folks don't notice this wall.  It's a drystone wall, where all the cut stones are laid without mortar.  My friend Joe Dinwiddy made it, as well as the one on the other side of the studio.

This side of the studio has a mosaic mural created by my friend Julie.

Another one of Joe's walls, this time with uncut stones.

A bas relief mural done in concrete on the other side of the Clay Studio.

The woodland scene on the building looks great when lit at night.

The back entrance to the Black Mountain Center for the Arts...which is directly next door to the Clay Studio.

And how timely, I just received notice that Joe Dinwiddy is about to teach a workshop about building stone steps next month at our Arboretum  HERE.

Since I've started off with some stone walls, I'll add this to the Sepia Saturday gang for this week.  Sorry these are hot off the computer rather than historic.   Oh there are so many historic stone walls in my genealogy!
