Abstract:

Milling discusses the work and creations of Asheville glass carver Charles Donaldson. Donaldson spent fifteen years, beginning at age nineteen, traveling the world conducting studies of various cultures' arts and crafts. Seeking a nicer place to raise children, the family left California and settled first in Wilmington and, in 2001, in Asheville. Donaldson produces between sixty and eighty pieces a month. Many are shipped to galleries for sale. He does about twelve craft shows a year. One of the most popular pieces he sells is titled THE BRIDGE.
