An exhibit titled Elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water<\/i>, featuring works by members of the Southern Highland Craft Guild, will be on display beginning February 6 and running through May 3 at the Folk Art Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway.<\/p>\n

On display will be pieces by six Guild artists working in clay, fiber, glass, and jewelry. Curator Nikki Josheff says these elements are critical tools in the process of creating art. \u201cWhether it be the flame for a firing, or water for wet felting, each of these artists are masters of manipulating such properties into a fine piece of craft,\u201d says Nikki. She adds, \u201cIt was also the natural simplicity of the individual\u2019s work that captured the theme of Elements<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the first exhibit at the Folk Art Center for new Guild member Tina Curry from Bristol, Tennessee. Her piece titled \u201cNomads\u201d (shown here) plays with all four of the themes. \u201cMy (raku firing) process takes the clay body from the earth and through fire, air, and water to unveil its beauty,\u201d says Tina. Within the first five months of being accepted into the Guild, she says she feels already that her \u201ccreativity is boosted from immersing myself in the network of talented artists.\u201d<\/p>\n
