Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day has always been primarily a virtual event, so here at Mountain Made we will observe it on it’s traditional date, the last Sunday, April 25th, 2021.
In honor of this day, we invite you to check out the work of Mountain Made's own Max Cooper...
Max says, "A pinhole camera is simple. Its tiny aperture is literally nothing: A hole. ... Almost no light passes through, and the light that does is so dim that an exposure must be made over the course of several minutes.
It is rendered over time, losing the sharp reproduction of reality that we’ve come to associate with modern photography.
Still, even the simplest camera must be aimed, usually by a photographer. For my part, I have photographed these things precisely because they are so over-photographed: Beautiful destinations, gorgeous and dangerous falls at the end of the trail.
These are places we usually photograph to show we were there; I wanted to photograph them because they are there."
PopUP PHOTO EXHIBIT by Catherine "Kitsy" Stratton
Fri, 4:30 – 6:00 PM
We invite you to come by our gallery for a popUP exhibit by popular landscaper photographer by Catherine "Kitsy" Stratton.
We are inviting you to come by Mountain Made, purchase and then create your own designs on a sun hat in Patriotic colors using alcohol and indelible ink markers.
Dyeing fabric with marker pen ink and alcohol is super fast and fun to do. This easy to do technique allows anyone to create colorful designs on just about any kind of white clothing, even a hat.
You can purchase a white fabric sun visor for only $4.00 to use in this special 4th of July art project! We recommend that you and your family come by early since supplies are limited – we have only 100 hats for sale!
This event be open 4th of July weekend: Sat from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm & Sunday, Noon to 5:00 pm.

Mountain Made Gallery will be hosting a book signing for some of our most popular WNC women writers: Celia Miles, Nancy Dillingham, Jeanne Charters and Nancy Werking Poling.
The books from these wonderful women writers ranges from fun, “who-done-it” murder mysteries, to contemporary poetry; from gripping cutting edge novels to thought provoking non-fiction lifetime stories…
We invite you to drop by and chat with these Western North Carolina authors and discover more about them, and their work.
You are on a weekend get-away with the family but your kids are getting bored?
You came to Asheville to check out the Smoky Mountains, visit the Biltmore and maybe get some early Christmas shopping done.
But the kids are driving you a little crazy!
If this sounds like familiar, then you should come by the Mountain Made Gallery this Saturday (11:00AM - 5:00 PM) for one of our (slightly) famous Interactive Art Projects.
This weekend our public art project is entitled "Autumn Art with Leaves - Fun with Hank & Hortense Hedgehog".
Did you know that the name Hortense is Latin for "she of the garden"? What better way to welcome the Fall than with creating "animals" with fall leaves?
