A new business focused on printing giclees officially opened in Waynesville last week.
Smoky Mountain Studios, a sister business of neighboring Twigs & Leaves Gallery, is operated by Anna Melton, who has worked in that industry for a decade.
Before Melton, friends, family and Haywood County Chamber of Commerce officials cut the ribbon, she had a few words for those who turned out for the occasion.
The business is a fine art printing house where artists can bring in original work, which is then reprinted on canvass.
“The goal of our business is to be a resource for our artists and also for the art community,” Metlon said. “It’s a really special moment when an artist brings in an original piece. Often, I’m the first one to see it, and they tell me about their brainstorm. They tell me what they care about, and they tell me about their process. We get to be a part of that process, and that’s hands-down the coolest part of the job.” smokymtnstudios.com.
