WRAL-TV’s Richard Adkins toured the Asheville RAD with CURVE studios & garden owner, Pattiy Torno a few weeks back for a feature in WRAL’s summer travel series, “Nooks & Crannies”. Visits to Cloth Fiber Workshop, Studio C Glass’ Robert Gardner & Jonas Gerard Fine Art as well as CURVE provide the content for “Asheville Flows with Artistic Talent”. Thanks RAD (Richard ADkins…kismet, eh?) for a great day and for sharing a sweet peek @ the Asheville RAD.

CURVE hosts Carolyn & Bill Pollack of QVC-TV

curve-studios-garden-hosts-qvc-tv-7-15-2010
Jewelry designers & QVC-TV hosts Carolyn & Bill Pollack stopped in @ CURVE while filming their “Summer Across America” destination series this July. They had a look at the work of Karen Donde of sutherland Handweaving, talked with Pattiy Torno about her extraordinary quilts & explored the wonderful world of encaustic painting with Constance Williams. Carolyn & Bill were lovely to have in the studios and even went home with a series of 6 “jewel box” encaustic studies by Constance. The fruits of their visit will air on QVC-TV starting August 8, 2010.

Charleston Magazine features CURVE artists

ashevillem_0There is a lovely article in the May 2010 Charleston Magazine written by Sandy Lang with photos by Peter Frank Edwards loving on Asheville’s River Arts District. “On the Road: Asheville, North Carolina: Arts Collective: Exploring the hands-on creative vibe of Asheville”. It has a wonderful photo of Barb Butler @ work on her loom and Pattiy Torno piecing “Big Blue River”. Sandy & Peter were such a pleasure to have in the studio, that feeling flows from every pore of this article. Thanks you two!
