SUMMARY:Metalsmithing 101: The Basics Intensive SEPT 13th and 14th
DESCRIPTION:Want to learn to make jewelry? This beginner friendly introductory metalsmithing course teaches the basics skills involved in making your own jewelry. Learn to use a variety of tools and equipment common in a jewelry studio. \nThis Intensive 16 hour 2 day workshop will teach many techniques including sawing\, filing\, polishing\, soldering\, bezel setting\, textures\, and more! $499 plus a $55 materials fee (paid separate at class) \nClass Times: Saturday Sept 13th 9-5 and Sunday Sept 14th 9-5 \nStudents will also have access to 4 Open Studio sessions through the following 4 weeks to practice their skills. A knowledgeable instructor is present during these sessions for questions and safety. Wednesdays 10-4pm (These are only valid the 4 weeks following the class and do not carry over) \nPlease know this will be a substantial amount of information over the two days and the intensity may not be ideal for everyone. Some jewelry making knowledge may be beneficial\, but is not required. The course is designed to teach the skills through a series of jewelry pieces. \nThe course is designed to teach techniques and skills rather than completing actual aesthetically pleasing pieces\, but the goal is that everyone can complete 2-3 pieces of finished jewelry or more. Attending some or all Open Studios will absolutely ensure this and likely many more pieces.

SUMMARY:West Asheville Garden Stroll
DESCRIPTION:The 16th West Asheville Garden Stroll is Saturday\, September 13 from 11 AM to 4 PM. It features 13 diverse gardens in the Falconhurst neighborhood\, north of Haywood Road between Mitchell Avenue and Louisiana. Stroll Guides with a map and garden descriptions will be available from 11:00 until 3:30 at the parking lot across from West Asheville Baptist Church\, 926 Haywood Road. (Note to regular attendees: there’s no kickoff program this year.) \nThe Garden Stroll is free\, and all are welcome to join in this community event\, rain or shine. However\, leave your four-footed friends at home — dogs are not allowed in the gardens.\nIn keeping with our “stroll” concept\, we encourage you to park at one of the WAGS-designated lots on Haywood Road and walk or bike the 2.5 mile route.  \nThis year’s gardens include a permaculture “grass to food” yard with all kinds of edibles; formal designs and eclectic ones that have evolved over time; a “photographer’s paradise;” a large Bountiful Cities community garden hidden among residential streets; whimsical yard art; and of course\, chickens.  You’ll see new and mature gardens as well as works-in-progress\, all offering the chance to chat with friendly and enthusiastic gardeners.  \nOur theme\, Entwined\, was inspired by the amazing interconnectedness of nature. In a healthy garden the plants\, insects\, birds\, fungi and soil bacteria form an interdependent community that allows them all to thrive. The same is true in a healthy neighborhood. After Helene\, the Falconhurst community — like many neighborhoods in WNC — grew even more entwined\, as neighbors gathered around the well at the small farm to collect water and share necessities\, information\, and good vibes. Let’s all work to make our communities and our gardens more “entwined!”
