Meet the Artists

 Here is a list of some of the art forms, represented at the Carolina Mountain Artist Guild along with the names of the artists who create them. 

In addition to the items found in the shop, most of our members will happily accept special commissions, designing that something special to meet your particular taste and specifications. 
    Since we take turns manning the register whenever the shop is open, each of us in our turn is available to meet, greet and speak enthusiastically about what it is we do.  If you can't come to the shop in person, please feel welcomed to communicate with any of our members through our e-mail links.
