Jack Jennings has been my primary instructor at the Sawtooth Center. He is an incredibly talented smith and teacher. http://www.jackjenningsmetalsmith.com/ Sawtooth School for Visual Art John C. Campbell Folk School - I highly recommend this school for the weekend and weeklong programs. While I was there attending a casting class with elizabeth Hake, Kris studied Ikebana (Japanese flower arranging). They have a very diverse curriculum. Green Hill Center for North Carolina Art - They have great exhibitions and feature a very nice sales gallery full of work by North Carolina artists.
Lapidary - I purchase my cabs of jasper, agate, tigers eye, and other stones from talented artists in the United States including Mitchell Dale, Chris Miller, Nathan Christensen, Dale Bramlette, and John and Patty Schmidt. Mitchell Dale cuts freeform cabochons and matched pairs from materials like drusy chrysocolla, eudialyte, wavellite, and much more. Quality materials, quality cuts and some unique materials found and mined by Dale.
