You're My Cup of Tea

What better way to express your love for someone then letting them know, "You're my cup of tea."  We were thrilled when Red Cat Studio presented us with their newest design just in time for Valentine's Day.  Available as a card or a special order print.

For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

Artist Talk: Alan Daigre October 19, 5-7pm

 

 

Alan Daigre had the vision of taking an iconic piece of furniture, the rocking chair, and update it to a stylish post and rung rope/wood block chair that combines impeccable craftsmanship and comfort.

Join us for a conversation about Alan’s creative process for his signature rocking chair, his collaboration with renowned wood sculptor, Michael Bauermeister, and his projects for the future.

More of Alan’s work can be see on his website, www.alandaigredesigns.com

 

Welcome to our newest studio members: 

These artists have selected works at the studio. They will change their representative pieces periodically, so take every opportunity to visit us! For more information on joining the studio, please contact us at 828-698-7000 or by email at info@studiosflatrock.com.

Ladies Lunch at The Studios at Flat Rock

The Studios at Flat Rock hosted their very first luncheon that turned out wonderfully!  The guests enjoyed a summer menu of fresh ingredients presented by Chef Michael's Catering, a local family business focused on innovative, creative menu items with exceptional service.  The flowers were picked at Poppins Posies in Mills River and arranged at the studio.  Let us be your venue for an intimate affair.

Grand Opening at The Studios at Flat Rock

We are blessed!  The grand opening for The Studios of Flat Rock was on May 21, 2015 and we feel welcomed into the neighborhood.  The occasion was festive and lively with many visitors and friends stopping by to see the new space and the inaugural gallery show, Passages.  Flat Rock Mayor Bob Stanton conducted the ribbon cutting and Julie and I rang the bell as a symbol to the beginning of a new adventure!
