We headed south for a behind-the-scenes view of the booming art and craft culture in North Carolina, famous for its pottery, quilts, art glass, ironwork, and furniture.
We have made five trips to explore the contemporary art of this culture including ceramics, photography, and paintings. We also have explored its rural art communites, and learned about the regions' Afro-Cuban roots.
