FREE ADMISSION

 



Once again, the best local artists bring their combined perspectives, skills, and original works of art to Trillium Cove in Townsend, TN.  From functional to decorative, these one of a kind and limited edition art works form a collection that can only be seen here.



We are happy to announce that our event is expanding in many ways.  Make sure you bring the whole family!  On Saturday and Sunday, in addition to their gourmet sandwiches, soups and salads, the Picnic Pantry, with a little help from some Louisiana natives, will be cooking up fresh gulf crawfish and shrimp.  That's right! A genuine crawfish and low country boil with all the fixings! Please, come hungry!



Also, we will be sporting a new game area, which will include horse shoes and corn hole.  And, new to the Art Walk line up, the Townsend Artisan Guild will be hosting a children's tent this year with wonderful activities to engage kids of all ages!

 

Pistol Creek Catch of the Day

As before, enjoy the opportunity to meet the artists one on one in their booths and watch many of them at work.  Browse sales, specials, and the work of featured artists in the shops of Trillium Cove.  Enjoy live music by Roux du Bayou, The Dirty Dougs, and Pistol Creek Catch of the Day.  With the Picnic Pantry's wonderful selection of fine wines, beer and cold drinks, just relax on the lawn with the Smoky Mountains as your backdrop.

Dwyer Designs Jewelry Now Available at Southern Fried

We are excited to be presenting Townsend with the unique jewelry of Maryville's Karen Dwyer.  Her designs are edgy, yet dainty, and are continuously evolving with new inspirations reflecting the current fashion landscape and her own powerful vision.  Karen's work blends a genius mixture of natural semi-precious stones with subtly detailed rich metals.  Using materials ranging from textured gold, hammered silver and hand-forged brass, her jewelry achieves a compelling union between inspiration and functionality.  In her own words, "I design my jewelry intuitively based on elegance, originality, and sophisticated daintiness." 

Rachel Feece Pottery

We are very excited about our new Asheville potter, Rachel Feece.  Each of Rachel’s pieces is unique, yet remains identifiable as her distinctive work, just as elements of the natural world exhibit both diversity and similarity at once. Her aesthetic owes much to the natural surroundings in Western North Carolina and the Blue Ridge Mountains; she is inspired by the beauty of the mountains, the colorful insects and plants of the area, and even by the people she encounters. Owning one of Rachel’s pots is a way of engaging with her interpretation of the world. Rachel’s ultimate aspiration for her artwork is that each piece will have a lasting impact on the person who possesses it, enriching that person’s life each time it is used.

Nuno Felting by Brenda Martell

We have the goods! Nuno felting? Yes, a process by which soap, water, and agitation cause fiber to migrate through fabric to create a unique piece of art.  For Brenda, the luxurious fiber she uses comes from her alpacas. Owner of Fallen Leaf Farm Alpacas, Brenda uses every ounce of fiber that her alpacas produce.  Some is left natural and some she dyes herself.  Because of this, she is able to create pieces of beauty and functionality, such as, scarves, jewerly, purses, and wine cozies.  The items she makes are all one of a kind and cannot be duplicated. "I love to mix fibers within my work. That is how I get my texture and visual interest. My customers are a distinct group of people. They (or their husbands) buy beautiful and unique items that showcase their personality."
