Waynesville does not advertise itself as an arts town. It just is one.
Twigs & Leaves has anchored downtown for years, showing the work of regional artists and craftspeople who actually live here. Glass by Gayle and Christina Bendo Pottery are the kinds of studios you find by asking a local, not by looking at a tourist map.
A short drive over the ridge lands you in Maggie Valley, where Raymond Fairchild spent most of his life. The late banjo legend called this valley home, and traces of him are still there if you know where to look. Different Drummer Pottery and Mountain Mike's Whetstone Woodworks are two more reasons to keep driving.
Haywood County rewards people who take the slow road.
