The Artisan Drive-About is a self-guided driving tour of local studios, galleries and shops in Graham County, N.C., and allows visitors to experience the beauty of the area while discovering hand-made treasures. Many of the studios also feature gardens, which will be in full-bloom for the summer tour. Map and more info

Artisans on the tour include Bee Global (pictured left), Creative Impulses, Hounds Hollow Pottery, Karen's Garden Designs, Mill Creek Pottery & Gallery, Mud Leaf Pottery, Stecoah Gallery, Wood Gallery, & Yellow Branch Pottery & Cheese.

ELISE DELFIELD
Potter

A ten year veteran of the pottery business, Elise owns and operates Pincu Pottery. Elise creates hand-thrown pottery using earthenware clay. All of her pottery is dishwasher and microwave safe, as it is intended to be used as well as displayed. “I hope my pottery will sit amongst others on your table, enjoying the food it holds and the company it shares,” says Elise. See her work at the Gallery.
