Art in the Dairy, at 7701 Tuckaseegee Road, is holding a free open house Saturday, April 11th, 2015, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The Dairy is the former 1940 dairy processing plant of Black’s Dairy, a home delivery company, specializing in milk and ice cream. Today, the Dairy houses art studios of glass, metal, silver, and clay. Artists who have studios there include Rose Hawley, who works in glass, Timmy Hord, who works with clay, Dan Haga, a silversmith, and Chris Craft, who works with encaustic medium (a paint made from wax, pigments and resin.) Also, the grounds are home to two goats, one miniature donkey, and many chickens.
At the open house visitors can harvest young trees, already stripped and carved by Franklin and Boots, pygmy goats, to be used as walking sticks. Meet the artists and try your hand at various art projects. Also enjoy food and drink at this free event.
Also, meet Alex Fahad, who made this guitar out of the dome top of a litter box, lamp parts, a weed eater string and other found elements.
