Arrowmont: after 25 years, I am returning to the place where it all started for me as a fiber artist. That embarrassing picture is me, Amber O’Harrow (then Amber Wood), with my first weaving, turned into a bag. Let’s see where my journey has led me since then, as I follow my guide, Pat Hickman on an exploration of fiber sculpture at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts.
It is Sunday, June 20th and I have just begun my course at Arrowmont. I checked in and found my room in the Red Barn:
After a bit of exploring, it was time for dinner: BBQ chicken, excellent fresh tomatoes, salad and roasted potatoes….very good, but not the sort of southern cooking I am hoping for. But, I been told to never fear, it will come!
During my exploring, I found the studio my class will be working in.
After dinner, there was an orientation, and then our class met for the first time. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. We seem to have a good group.
Tonight, we each gave a presentation of our work, so that we would understand one another better. The work was diverse and excellent. I am looking forward to seeing some interesting work by the end of the week!
Now it is time for some rest. Tomorrow will be a full day with lots of information to take in. Night all!
