Henderson County sprawls out toward higher ground and, as it unfurls, artists of every stripe seem to nestle into its nooks and crannies.
Artist Heidi Mayfield with the Pink House Studio offers demonstrations and classes in pottery, painting and encaustic wax by appointment. Located at 306 Shepherd St. in Hendersonville, it’s best to call Heidi at 828.393.5755 or email her at arton4th.ave@gmail.com before visiting.
Also, by appointment only ~ Leftwich Pottery, 126 Bane Road, in Mills River, between Hendersonville and Brevard.
