  • features September 10, 199 7 •5 Historical Shops Offer Diversion If Riverwood's buildings have a more authentic flavor than most, it is because some have been around since the beginnings of the town. by Brian Postelle On the edge of Dillsboro, before 441, tucked away in its own corner of the river, is Riverwood. Many students have passed it taking the back road between Cullowhee and 441 on their way out of town. The cluster of white buildings is nestled within the loop of Craft Circle, which draws cars away from the main strip of town and into the confines of an area that seems a little quieter, a bit older, that the rest of Dillsboro. If Riverwood's buildings have a more authentic flavor than most, it is because some have been around since the beginnings of the town. The front house, where Oaks Gallery and Riverwood Pewter are located, was once the home of William Allen Dills, a local postmaster and the namesake of the town. The house was built in the 1880s and was later the home of C. J. Harris, who played a vital part in Dillsboro's evolution into a town. Oak trees over 200 years old grow in front of the shops, including the second largest white oak in North Carolina. The front house also held a pewter shop in the 1930s, where goods and jewelry were made. Riverwood Pewter is still there and maintains a working studio where pewter is hand-hammered by artisans. Hammered and cast pieces are for sale in the shop. Riverwood Craft Shop is also located in the front house. Local handmade arts and crafts can be found in the Oaks Gallery. Approximately 120 artists from North Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas have contributed an amazing range of pieces for this shop, from earrings to spun-wood bowls. Susan Leveille, owner of Oaks Gallery, selects professional artists from around the area with styles that range from traditional to contemporary. Media include fibers, wood, and glass, and make up everything from sweaters to folk toys to sculpture. A variety of prices makes this gallery attractive for both collectors and gift shoppers. The Well House Deli is located under Oaks Gallery. Celebrating its twentieth year, the Well House is named for the Dills' original well, which is located within the restaurant. Long known for its sandwiches, the Well House is expanding its menu for dinner, including some vegetarian dishes. The quiet interior and outdoor seating allow for a relaxed atmosphere, and is a good place to sit and read or talk while having lunch or coffee. Riverwood Pottery is located across from the Well House. Brant and Karen The Riverwood Shops are an island of quality in the crafty heart of Dillsboro. Photos by Seth Sams. Barnes have run the shop for the past three years, and Brant is the third potter to work the studio since it was built in 1974. The shop contains a working studio, and visitors are welcome to step inside and watch pieces being made. All of the pieces in the shop are made by the Barnes's and range from wall vases to plates and mugs. Brant has also researched and written about the local history, and is always willing to sit and chat with passersby. Other shops have thrown in with Riverwood since its creation. The Glass Menagerie and Nature's Trail Gallery offer a look at some other local artistry. Time Capsule Books features rare and out-of-print books, as well as a large selection of inex pensive paperbacks upstairs. Since Riverwood is often less busy than the main street, shop owners consider themselves a family and often mingle with one another, as well as with customers. Regular visitors walk in and out, providing Riverwood with a town atmosphere all its own. western ■ • * arolmian Andes Manta by Briggs Gilliam On Friday, September 19, the highly acclaimed Andean folk music group Andes Manta will revive authentic ancient American sounds on over 35 different traditional instruments at the Diana Wortham Theater in Asheville's Pack Place. This is a rare opportunity to experience the vibrancy of ancient American musical forms, like the lyrical sounds of the quena, or Andean flute, sensual, hypnotic drum rhythms, and the haunting tones of six-foot- long pan pipes. The group also performs a long, mesmerizing instrumental of actual rain forest sounds—an experience which sends its listeners to some enchanted place deep within a South American jungle. Poor by American standards and without the opportunity to study formally, the Lopez brothers of Andes Manta learned the music of their ancient ancestors from their father in the form passed down to him through the generations. The pan pipes, like those played by the group, date back 20,000 years and have been found from South America to Mexico to the ancient mounds of the Ohio Valley. From Carnegie Hall to the Lincoln Center, Andes Manta has been leaving audiences spellbound with the magic of their music and their culture. The group was also recently selected by the Smithsonian Institution and the Discovery Channel to perform the prehistoric music of Ohio's Mound Builders in the documentary "Rediscovering Columbus." Don't miss this unique musical experience brought to you by the Carolina Day School Fine Arts Series. *o Open seating is $12 for adults and >» for students. Tickets are available at Diana Wortham Theater at Pack ?lace (704) 257-4530. Patron seats are availaD only from Carolina Day School, locate 1345 Hendersonville Rd., Asheville, or (704)274-0757.
