Chris McAdoo woodcut:
“A Tribute To Andrew Johnson”

These are original watercolors by Barbara "Jake" Carter available as the original or in the giclee format. She signs her paintings as "Jake" because that was her Daddy's nickname for her. The paintings are based on photos she has taken at the "Battle of Blue Springs Reenactment" each October in Mosheim, TN, here in Greene County.

Sharon Collins Stained Glass
Sharon Collins – “quite simply one of the best stained glass  artists I’ve ever seen,” notes Stockton – has called on the  talents of the reclusive Eliza Johnson. Collins has created a  window hanging based on a quilt attributed to Eliza Johnson  found at the foot of her bed at the Homestead.

Styled circa 1870's and reminiscent of Upper East Tennessee Decker pottery, Tim Frain's stoneware crocks have the look of older salt glazed pieces with a contemporary and more environmentally friendly glaze of his own creation. Frain consecutively numbered these pieces and has limited their production to 2008

A playful and unique piece, in the form of edible art, is coming from Jane Wilson of Blue Ridge Chocolates (which make a wonderful excuse for popping by Stockton’s gallery on Main Street). Wilson is creating a gingerbread/dark chocolate house based on the Johnson tailor shop featuring her “Tennessee Truffles” filled with her special molasses cream.
