Rude's Studio

These photographs were made by Tim Barnwell of Asheville, NC who was commissioned by the Southern Highlands Handicraft Guild to document Rude's Studio for their archives.  Michael Sherrill, a SHHG board member and Tim spent two days in Berea capturing the studio's essence.

The first three photographs are from his initial studio the rest are from the studio built in 1982 and the last one is the corn crib which housed wood. We hope you enjoy these.
