Update - Wildwood Creek Fest

Written By Robin Wade

Great news regarding the upcoming Wildwood Creek Festival.

Sunday afternoon was perfect for testing the acoustics of the creek.  We were hoping to be able to provide the acoustic entertainment with no electric.  Although it sounded pretty darn good, with much wading or splashing we may have to plug up just a bit in July.

I'm happy to report that we have confirmed possibly the most beautiful location on Cypress Creek to hold this first annual event.  It's a private residence, with a beautiful, almost magical huge sloping backyard.  Without naming names, if you know your way around the creek, it's a hundred yards or so upstream from the Nelson Starkey Bridge, and has had a beautiful red barn (and meditation rock) sitting on the bank of the creek for the past 50 years.  Perfect.

One more update.  The event will be from 5pm to 8pm, July 19, 2014.

There will be no direct access by car. If arriving by land, you'll need to bring your lawn chair, sun screen (and great attitude) to one of our downtown parking locations where our Shuttle will be circling regularly.

Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
