The Next Big Thing

So, I have left the mountains of Tennessee for the swamp lands of North Carolina. I am currently in the the town of Columbia, NC at the Pocosin Arts Center where I will be helping to set up a metals studio that I will later be using. It's actually very beautiful here. It's not totally swamp, but there is a place not too far from me called Dismal Swamp. There are still black bears here though, so watch out. There is lots of sea food and scuppernong wine. Two of my favorites. But really, everything is very historic looking and the room I am staying in is all brick walls and wood floors and probably haunted by some swamp bear. I am really looking forward to my time here.
