Art for everyone
Find traditional and not-so-traditional pieces at event
BY RAGAN ROBINSON
Record Staff Writer
TAYLORSVILLE -- A 30-minute drive from Hickory puts you in wonderland this weekend.
Saturday’s Art in the Shop fills a wildflower-dotted, rock-sculpted meadow with whimsical metal statues, natural knotty woodcarvings, peculiar pottery, atypical trinkets and a long list of other traditional and nontraditional art pieces.
Richard and Barbara Sinclair host the event near their Taylorsville home - and in front of featured artist Richard Sinclair’s workshop. It is his toy box, where he stores the rusty bicycles, fan blades and other bits of metal he transforms into quirky outsider art - pieces like the bigger-than-life fish he envisioned when he found a buggy seat spring that looked like a bass’ big mouth or the “Hot Rocker” with a radiator chest and horseshoe feet. His work sells for between $25 and $2,600.
Organizers say you don’t have to spend a fortune at Saturday’s show - unless you just want to.
