There is a one-time $25 registration fee, with financial assistance available.<\/p>\n<p>Artists can invite visitors to their studio during the tour, sell their work online, or both, and artists keep 100 percent of their profits. Marketing support will include a community-wide promotional campaign including artist profiles and an interactive online tour map.<\/p>\n<p>With storm-related cancellations of two of her biggest money-making events, fine art weaver Neal Howard is looking forward to the tour and welcoming visitors into her studio.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile visitors to my website are always welcome, tactile interaction with my hand-dyed, handwoven silk scarves and wraps, seeing where and how they are made, is a more rewarding, exquisite experience,\u201d Howard says. \u201cI am grateful to Kelsey for this opportunity to share my passion in situ and, hopefully, recover from Helene\u2019s devastating losses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Susan McDonough, a goldsmith and creator of fine craft jewelry, lost work in several galleries during Helene but still has her studio and home and says she felt fortunate to get back to work once power was restored.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have so many talented artists, crafters, and makers in our area, and it was so smart to make this collaboration available locally and online,\u201d McDonough says. \u201cIt really gives people a chance to support artists in our region no matter where they live. And I&#8217;m grateful to be a part of it. This has been a scary and uncertain time, and it\u2019s such a relief to be back doing what I love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apart from an inability to create without power, some challenges with water turbidity affecting her glazes and the cancellations of orders by regional galleries also affected by the storm, Schissel says she considers herself fortunate that her studio is intact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe experience inspired me to help others in our artistic community who were not as lucky,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019ve opened my studio to three displaced potters, forming a consortium that provides them with a temporary space to work at no cost. To further support them, I launched a GoFundMe to cover essential materials like clay, tools and glazes\u2014helping them continue their craft while they plan for permanent studio spaces. Starting over from scratch, with the high cost of replacing tools and equipment, is a daunting challenge and I am committed to doing everything I can to assist these artists as they rebuild their lives and careers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ceramic artist Keira Peterson lost her RAD studio and gallery to flooding.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe holiday season is traditionally my biggest sales time of the year, so to be able to collaborate with a gallery for the opportunity to sell my work to the public during this season is something I am immensely grateful for,\u201d she says. \u201cThis tour highlights the strength of our artist community, with artists coming together to create an event that also supports those most affected by the flooding, connecting them with gallery spaces during the holiday season. It\u2019s been an incredible display of support, and I\u2019m excited to see the public come out and support us as well!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schissel says that since starting this grassroots project she has been inspired and reminded of many things: that the WNC community is resilient, determined, and strong; that people genuinely want to help one another; and that it\u2019s important to accept help when it\u2019s offered. She hopes that the tour will become a recurring event, and one that draws art lovers to WNC year-round.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Come Hell or High Water Studio Tour\u00a0is more than just an event\u2014it\u2019s a lifeline for WNC artists to recover from the devastating impacts of the hurricane,\u201d Schissel says. \u201cBy shopping during this tour, you\u2019re directly investing in their ability to continue creating and sustaining their livelihoods. It\u2019s an opportunity to celebrate their resilience, discover one-of-a-kind handmade art and make a meaningful impact on our creative community when they need it most.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>To learn more about the in-person event and to shop online for regional art, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/HandmadeForHelp.com\/studio-tour\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HandmadeForHelp.com\/studio-tour\/home<\/a>.
