Kathy Gholston and her husband Skipper raise alpacas, and Kathy uses their fur to make yarn and weave beautiful and elegant scarves and shawls. Alpacas produce one fo the finest and most luxurious of all natural fibers. Soft as cashmere, warmer, lighter and stronger than wool, it comes in more natural colors than any other fiber producing animal. Most of the alpaca yarn used by Garland Designs comes from alpacas raised on Garland Farm in Dahlonega, Georgia.

Ginny is a wonderful artist who works in several mediums with a free spirit. She is an oil painter who also works with acrylics, a glass painter who also works with metal, and a potter who makes both functional and decorative pieces. A great artist to add to your collection!

Art washes from the soul the dust of everyday life. - Picasso.>

Accomplished impressionist painter Cheri Burchard began painting at the young age of nine in Pennsylvania. Influenced by an impressionistic painting in her childhood home, she made it a full-time profession in 1994. When asked about her inspiration, she responded, “For me, art is informed and formed by my faith. Paintings are often birthed in prayer.”

Birthed in Prayer by Vicky Jones

Elizabeth Haskins is a wonderful silver smith who lives in Mobile, Alabama. Her sister lives here in Dahlonega, and that's how we came to know of Elizabeth and her husband, Bob, who is a potter.

 Elizabeth works with silver and precious stones, often turquoise. Recently, she has been inspired by an event that would change her and Bob's lives forever. While dealing with this event, Elizabeth and Bob both had a hard time, and turned to their artwork often to just move through the day. However, some of the work that began to appear had significance in their mutual grieving, and Elizabeth found herself growing as an artist, and dealing with this event began to change her work.

She first brought into the gallery beautiful, simple, silver bangles, which she called "Story Bracelets." Currently I have one story bracelet, and it reads, "I add my breath to your breath, so that our days may be long on this earth." It's stunning in its simplicity, and in it's story. 

I hope you'll enjoy Elizabeth's work! And if we're lucky, we'll have a wonderful new collection of Bob's pottery soon to show you! 

We're so happy to have sought after artist and custom cabinet maker Rocky Collins as one of our artists! People are overwhelmed with the quality of his work!{mosimage}{mosimage}

What a joy, Sandy Sandlin! You will enjoy Sandy's fresh new paintings!

"I have always had an appreciation for fine woodwork, architectural and furniture. I am comforted by the resilient feel underfoot of a fine wood floor and the soft smoothness of a well used handrail. I am most drawn to pieces that emphasize the natural beauty of the grain and figure of wood and to simple and functional designs of everyday utilitarian objects such as seen in the Shaker heritage and the work of George Nakashima and Sam Maloof. I work with both power and hand tools to produce furniture that is pleasing to the eye, satisfying to the touch and functional in use."

Frank's "Umbrella Bowls" are a hit for everyone!

I began to throw in the early 70’s (1970s, not my age) in Mississippi. It just began as a lark, something interesting to try..then I was hooked. I continued my pottery in Virginia: showing in galleries, in craft shows and as a potter-in-residence. My son, who was a baby at the time, slept in his basket below the display table at craft shows, and watched me throw from his swing.

Win Crannell is one of Dahlonega's most sought after artists. Specializing in pen and ink, his most notable drawings are of the large old Southern trees. While the photographs don't do his work justice, we've given it a shot! With works in several sizes, both framed and unframed. If any of these photographs tempt you, please call the gallery for availability and pricing.
