Secrets of a Southern Host In a world full of food hacks and unceremonious gatherings, the Southern host rises to the challenge of placing company over convenience. From setting the table to serving dessert, here are just a few old-school ideas required at a proper Southern celebration. ROLL OUT THE WELCOME When it comes to hosting an event, first impressions are everything. Break out your best china, order fresh flowers, and make sure there’s ample seating for everyone. Pull out all the stops to make your guests feel welcome. PLAY BARTENDER There are five cocktails that every host should be able to whip up on a hot summer day: a martini, bellini, mint julep, old-fashioned, and your own signature spritz. Pull out your recipe book or try our smoky peach spritz. ALWAYS SERVE CAKE A good host always has a sweet surprise as the last course of the evening. From cupcakes to petit fours, the dessert options are endless. For a true crowdpleaser, serve a light cake with fresh cream and fruit, like our signature honey cake. DON’T LEAVE THEM EMPTY-HANDED Close out the evening with a small token of appreciation. A jar of local honey, exotic peppers, coffee beans from your favorite roaster, and a handwritten note all make for the perfect goody bag to send home with your guests.

ARTIST IN RESIDENCE
Some come to Asheville only to experience its beauty on a surface level, a bohemian city bordered by rugged mountain peaks. Through a series of backroads, wrong turns, and serendipitous encounters, our Artist in Residence, Gately Williams, finds another story.
“ I was driving east out of Asheville, always choosing the backroads. This pretty white horse was as still as a statue, half home, half looking out. I made a u-turn, and then another, and pulled into the ditch to take this photo. As I shot, she slowly approached the fence in a gentle way.”

“Years ago, I passed by this beautiful property on a motorcycle ride. I’ve always regretted not stopping to have a look around. While shooting for The Restoration I made a point to find this farm. This is Blue Ridge Daylilies farm. It can be found by heading northwest from the Arts District and turning north up Lower Flat Creek Road.”

“ This moment will always be a beautiful mystery to me. This is one of those wrong turn, end up in the right place moments. I was riding along somewhere on a northern section of the Blue Ridge Parkway and made a series of turns, just kind of trying to go in the direction of Asheville. A truck and a tree. I pulled over and shot this.”

Based in Charleston, Gately specializes in landscape, editorial, and adventure photography. His work has taken him to Iceland, Ireland, and as far away as Morocco and Australia. As The Restoration’s Artist in Residence, Gately’s work is displayed throughout both our hotels, each serving as an exhibition of its city’s culture, traditions, and stories. gatelywilliams.com

Meet Judi Harwood
Resident Potter at the Village Potters in Asheville From her work filling the Village Potters Gallery, you’d never know that Judi Harwood’s love for pottery developed later in life. After moving to Asheville, she took her first clay class in 1999, and they say the rest is history. Today, Judi shares her passion for ceramics through classes and demonstrations at the Village Potters, where she turns clay into art and people into potters. How did you begin your journey as a clay artist? Unlike many ceramic artists, I can’t say, “I’ve wanted to make pots on the wheel since I was a child.” Rather, I randomly took a pottery class with a friend to do something fun together before she moved away. The first time my hands touched wet clay on the wheel, I was hooked. I quickly purchased a used wheel which found a home in the back corner of my garage (my first studio). What’s your favorite demonstration to perform at the Village Potters? I absolutely love demonstrating the firing processes of raku and horse hair raku. Raku pieces are placed in combustible materials, and onlookers love the drama of the open flame! The magical sight and aroma of horsehair burning up and leaving a carbon print on the pottery sparks all kinds of questions and comments from those watching. The fun is contagious! What is the most experimental way you’ve fired your creations? A few years ago when teaching an Alternative Firings class, my students and I tried to answer the question, “What would happen if we … ?” We wedged mica powder into our clay, and put corn shucks, cat food, and coffee in our saggars. Perhaps the most experimental was mica powder (last minute) dumped into the Obvara brew. Some results didn’t make any difference, while others were magical! Do you always know what you’re going to create when you begin molding the clay? Most of the time, I know exactly what I am going to create when I sit down at the wheel since clay is weighed and wedged for a certain size and form. I’m typically working on a commission, wholesale order, or something for Village Potters gallery. Occasionally, however, I take the liberty to “just throw and see what happens.” That’s when a new form gets added to my line of work. What advice would you give a beginner clay artist? To the beginner clay artist, I would say this: “We all start at the beginning. Don’t be discouraged.” A great place to start is with a pottery class at The Village Potters Clay Center in Asheville. I love making pottery ... but I really love making potters! Take a class with Judi at The Village Potters Clay Center or view all of her workshops and demonstrations on her website earth2artpottery.com. The Village Potters Clay Center is located at 191 Lyman Street in Asheville, North Carolina.

Meet Corey Alston Gullah Sweetgrass Basket Weaver at Charleston City Market
2 6 | TH ER E STOR ATION HOTEL .C OM
Corey Alston knows a thing or two about keeping traditions alive. A Gullah Geechee native, Corey found his vocation in educating others on his heritage through cooking classes, interactive workshops, spreading community awareness, and creating the hand-woven masterpieces that have been the cultural cornerstone of the Gullah people for over a century: Sweetgrass Baskets. Corey’s family has been weaving traditional Sweetgrass Baskets for nearly five generations, and he keeps this timehonored craft alive by selling these treasured baskets at the Charleston City Market. Though his infectious smile and passion are always the main attraction.

ISSUE 16
Why are Sweetgrass Baskets so unique to the Lowcountry? You won’t find Sweetgrass Baskets anywhere else in America. It’s a skill set brought to the Lowcountry from West Africans during the days of enslavement. Today, their descendants, the Gullah, continue their traditions. What has been your favorite custom piece? My favorite custom piece would be the one that I completed for the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, DC. This piece took me a little over 4 months to complete. I call the piece “From Traditional to Contemporary.” It measures 33 inches tall and 33 inches wide. The reason it’s my favorite piece is because I was asked to make a Sweetgrass Basket that would best represent the Gullah Heritage at a National level. I was honored that I was chosen to be the artist for this project. Walk us through your process of basket weaving. The process of making a Sweetgrass Basket first starts with harvesting the raw material. Once it’s gathered, it’s laid to dry for 3 to 4 weeks. Then the weaving time begins. I weave for 12-13 hours daily, putting in 8 hours or so in the market and another 4-5 hours once I get home after dinner before going to bed. Then I start the same process the next day. As a 5th generation weaver, how have you made these pieces your own?
“The best way to tell
if you’re getting a real
Sweetwater Basket is by
seeing a person sitting there making them.”
With skill being around for over 300 years here in the States, it’s really hard to say if any piece would be considered a first-time design. But I can say that everyone has his or her own stitch. So no one can make the same piece twice. Each piece is one of a kind. What are some telltale signs of an authentic Sweetgrass Basket? The best way to tell if you’re getting a real Sweetgrass Basket is by seeing a person sitting there making them. There are knock-offs in our area that are purchased storefronts to compete with the Gullah Baskets. If a Sweetgrass Basket is what you want, only purchased them at historical landmarks, hotel lobbies, visitor centers, festivals, or, of course, right here at Charleston City Market. You can visit Corey and peruse his hand-woven creations, 7 days a week, at the Charleston City Market, or visit his website thegullahculture.com to learn more about the history of Sweetgrass Basket weaving, the Gullah people, and his work.
