These photos reflect our gallery and woodshop in Summer 2024. We are currently set up in a temporary warehouse tent on Riverside Drive while we rebuild our space. Please select “Hurricane Helene” tab from the menu for our recovery story. 

Established in 2017, the gallery at Foundation Woodworks showcases a wide array of fine woodworking from more than 65 local artists. Turned bowls, wall sculptures, homegoods, jewelry, lighting, woodcut prints, kitchenware, cutting boards, and a varied selection of heirloom-quality furniture are all featured here.

We also provide a community woodshop to 20 local woodworkers, which is attached to and viewable from the art gallery. This woodshop is fully outfitted with specialized tools, dust collection, work benches, and private studio space. Renters in this co-op workspace have 24/7 access and are active participants in a diverse community of woodworkers, both newly-graduated and those established in their careers over decades. This promotes a collaborative environment to share skills, resources, and fellowship in what can often be a very solitary practice.

In the coming months we will offer woodworking classes to the public, which have been highly requested over the years!  We strive to create a welcoming, educational environment for both artists and visitors to join with us in fostering the legacy of fine art and craft in southern Appalachia.
