Located at 940 Tunnel Road, the historic building was originally constructed in 1948 by jewelry maker Stuart Nye, who also built the Southern Highland Craft Guild gallery next door, which is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year.<\/p>\n<p>The event will feature the work of eleven artists in residence, including Katherine Caldwell (woven wheat), Sarah Carawan (mixed media), Lissa Friedman (oil paintings), Mitch Kolbe (oil paintings), Elizabeth Walton (jewelry), Deb Kolp (painting and mixed media), Aaron Rose (textiles), Chelsey Noel (mixed media and textiles), Wren Ribble (mixed media), Elena Ribble (jewelry), and Jude Stuecker (textiles).<\/p>\n<p>Tunnel Studios is the result of a unique collaboration between neighbors and friends. Co-owners Jude Stuecker and Paul Dixon are married, as are fellow co-owners Will Eccleston and Allison Williams. The four decided to embark on the renovation project together, unified by their shared interest in preserving Asheville\u2019s craft history and providing more space for artists to work and connect. All four owners have brought their own specific skills to the project, sharing the burden in a way that feels equitable and inspiring.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_82983\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-82983\" class=\"wp-image-82983\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1000012824.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1000012824.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1000012824-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1000012824-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1000012824-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1000012824-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1000012824-810x608.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1000012824-1140x855.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-82983\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Studio of Mitch Kolbe at Tunnel Studios<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cI really loved the building and the history of it,\u201d said Stuecker, \u201cspecifically Stuart Nye&#8217;s role in the craft scene in Asheville starting in the 1920s and &#8217;30s.

Jeweler Elizabeth Walton said, \u201cMoving into this studio is particularly special to me because I did a summer internship for Stuart Nye Jewelry when I was 14. Getting to move into this building now with my own jewelry business feels so full circle. The building has so much history both personally and communally and I hope to carry that spirit forward through the growth I anticipate happening as a result of being part of Tunnel Studios.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For painter Mitch Kolbe, this will be the first time in decades that he has had a working studio outside of his home. \u201cIt will be nice to once again have a space that is large enough that I can do both painting and sculpting in the same space,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are even planning to use the front room as a little show space for those artists that are interested in a little retail store. The possibilities are endless really and I\u2019m so grateful that this historical gem in East Asheville was saved as a real working artist space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wheat weaver Katherine Caldwell reflects on the building\u2019s legacy. \u201cI love that it has always been used\u2014in fact was designed\u2014for craft work,\u201d Caldwell said. \u201cAlthough we are creating different things in different ways, I love that the vibe has always been to maintain a business from working with one&#8217;s hands. There is so much history of steady handiwork there. To me it is a testimony to the focus being on the daily work going on inside and not the trappings of trendy stylings to work environment. Everything is simply functional, like a muted canvas for which creative work can be done without distraction or interruption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The public is invited to tour the studios, meet the artists, and view a wide range of artwork during the September 21 event.<\/p>\n<p><em>For more information, find <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/tunnelstudiosavl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@tunnelstudiosavl<\/a> on Instagram.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tunnel Studios, a new artist studio collective and gallery space in East Asheville, will open its doors to the public on Sunday, September 21, from 12\u20136 p.m. for its first Open Studio event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":82984,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[121],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-82980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news-and-updates"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 -
