 Whirligigs
Whimsical, wind-driven whirligigs featuring belted cows, bicycles
and animals greet visitors and residents to Fearrington Village. The
elaborately engineered and colorful sculptures were created by North
Carolina artist Vollis Simpson. Now in his late 80s, Vollis
continues to create whirligigs, although on a much smaller scale, at
his workshop in Lucama near Wilson, NC. Vollis's work can be
found at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, the American
Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore, and the annual Whirligig Festival
in Wilson. |

 The
Folk Art Gallery
On the first level of The Old Granary is the Folk Art Gallery, offering original
works of art for sale by some of the Southeast's finest Folk
Artists. Fearrington's fondness of Folk Art was inspired by Winston
Salem Artist Sam 'The Dot Man' McMillan, whose dotted artwork and
furniture can now be found throughout the Old Granary Restaurant and
Bar. The Folk Art
Gallery is open during regular Old Granary hours and has a selection
of colorful artwork for sale. Current work includes colorfully
cut-out turtles and fish by Bebo, contemporary folk art oil
paintings by Danny Doughty and animal themed wall-art by Tim & Lisa
Kluttz. |
