For jewelry collectors, consider the detailed cloisonn\u00e9 and enameled pieces by Mana Hewitt, a retired professor from the University of South Carolina School of Visual Art and Design where she was the senior instructor of jewelry making.<\/p>\n<p><em>Visit <a href=\"http:\/\/BlueRidgeHeritage.com\/HolidayGuide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BlueRidgeHeritage.com\/HolidayGuide<\/a> to see the full guide, read artist profiles and get map directions.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Blue Ridge National Heritage Area (BRNHA) has launched the Blue Ridge Craft Trails Gift Guide, which shows you where to buy the perfect gift along the drivable Blue Ridge Craft Trails.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":54931,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47,69],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-54986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arts","category-craft-arts"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
