It is about the time of year that the members of the Scaly Mountain Women’s Club, who go South for the winter, get “Spring Fever” and are longing to get to the mountains and get an urge for the taste of sausage and pancakes – “mountain style.” The “world famous” Pancake Breakfasts at Scaly Mountain’s historic old school house will start in May and be every 4th Saturday – May through October. The planning and the work begin in Spring. Susan Bankston is again in charge of this event that brings the community together.

This return to the mountains promises to deliver the same dynamic style and wit that’s become
her hallmark.

Alex Matisse: Ometto
May 12 - October 21
Campus
This installation of large ceramic vessels will be the signature work on The Bascom campus in 2012.
“In Italy, the word Ometto, meaning ‘little man’, is used to describe rock cairns that lead the way on hiking trails above the tree line, marking the path through barren landscapes. My own Ometti have a human quality with a large but unimposing stature, a defined head and broad shoulders...
The pots in the exhibition originate from the tradition of salt-glazed stoneware grave markers that were made in abundance in the counties of the eastern Piedmont of North Carolina...This project is my first step out of the comfort and familiarity of utility and defined function. But like all of my work, the Ometto project remains an exercise in repetition, refinement, and restraint.”
“The Ometti will convene on the front lawn of The Bascom, holding vigil for a few months, before being marshaled into the world to take up their posts.” Alex Matisse
Green Art

Atrium Gallery
A celebration of the 50th anniversary of the American Studio Glass Movement and environmentally friendly art. Tracy Kirchmann, glass artist, aided in the establishment of a glass studio, which is powered by methane from a landfill, at the Jackson County Green Energy Park in Dillsboro, NC. Tracy’s love of teaching has led her to the After School Program for the Little Black Pearl Glass Lab in Chicago, IL. The students of the Little Black Pearl program represent the first glass studio on the south side of Chicago and through the lineage of Tracy, the students participating in this program are directly connected to Harvey Littleton, founder of Americas studio glass movement. Tracy Kirchmann was fortunate to have Joan Byrd, one of Harvey Littleton’s original students, as her mentor. Tracy and her students will be creating works of art from recycled glass wine bottles for this exhibition.
Tim Curtis: Suspended
May 26 - August 26
Loft Gallery
This large-scale kinetic sculpture of suspended ceramic discs that are mounted and hung from the ceiling provides gentle, undulating, invisible waves. This movement in the room provides a tangible experience with the art installation as opposed to just viewing a single work of art. The specific source of light, the background it is held in, and the magnitude of the art, creates an environment that is unlike any other. An exciting nontraditional exhibition, provides elements inclusive of the experience that the artist can use to invite the viewer in and this artist includes the viewer as writer and image maker.
Island Life: Why are there so many weird species on islands?
Did you know that while some islands have giant tortoises, lizards, rabbits and pigeons, others have evolved dwarf elephants, rhinos, deer and even dwarf humans? Have you ever wondered what makes the species different on islands? Since Darwin and Wallace's fascination with the odd patterns of island life, islands have long since been recognized as "laboratories" for the study of evolution. Unravel the mysteries of island life with James Costa, director of the Highlands Biological Station and professor of Biology at Western Carolina University as he presents explanations of the two great trends in island life: gigantism and dwarfism. Also, discover the reason behind why on some islands, lemurs play the role of squirrels, bats the role of mice, and normally leaf-eating insects become voracious ambush predators.

Our Yoga Roots...
What is a complete yoga practice? Is it the ability to perform a variety of gymnastic postures? Is it learning all the different Asanas? Are we really practicing yoga at all, or just exercising? How can a balanced practice leave us with a high level of vitality, radiance, and a deep sense of peace?
Yoga has always been a rejuvenating practice, for many years. The traditional teachings act as an anchor for the practitioner in the whirlwind of the many styles and types of yoga available today. During our morning session, we will explore what a full yoga practice entails. Getting back to the root teachings can:
-Bring profound wholeness to our lives
-Ease mental strain and confusion to bring clarity and peace
-Help us make sane choices in the face of a new economy
-Empower us to know our own yoga pace and move with gentle grace
Our morning includes:
Breathwork- Refreshing the Deep Breath
Concentration techniques for steadiness
Physical Health through Asanas
Philosophy - Signs of Balanced/ Unbalanced Practice
Yoga Nidra - Accessing the Deep Rest Cycle
Mid-morning hot tea and fruit

Our Yoga Roots...
What is a complete yoga practice? Is it the ability to perform a variety of gymnastic postures? Is it learning all the different Asanas? Are we really practicing yoga at all, or just exercising? How can a balanced practice leave us with a high level of vitality, radiance, and a deep sense of peace?
Yoga has always been a rejuvenating practice, for many years. The traditional teachings act as an anchor for the practitioner in the whirlwind of the many styles and types of yoga available today. During our morning session, we will explore what a full yoga practice entails. Getting back to the root teachings can:
-Bring profound wholeness to our lives
-Ease mental strain and confusion to bring clarity and peace
-Help us make sane choices in the face of a new economy
-Empower us to know our own yoga pace and move with gentle grace
Our morning includes:
Breathwork- Refreshing the Deep Breath
Concentration techniques for steadiness
Physical Health through Asanas
Philosophy - Signs of Balanced/ Unbalanced Practice
Yoga Nidra - Accessing the Deep Rest Cycle
Mid-morning hot tea and fruit

Or why the market fluctuates so wildly at times? Or how the breaks are put on
during a drastic fall? Len will take the audience through a typical stock market
transaction from the client’s call to the broker to his receipt of his trade
confirmation. You will learn the rationale behind the existence of markets

THE REACH OF SONG
Song is as natural to humans as the beating of our hearts. Every generation
sings lullabies, prayers, hymns and laments, marches to war, makes vowals of
love, praises nature and evokes patriotism through national anthems. We
sing, individually and collectively, with and without accompaniment.
This presentation will provide a setting for listening to various songs and
suggest approaches to understanding the reasons for their impact. Appeal of
different voices will be considered. Although there will be some songs from
folk, blues, jazz and country idioms, more will be from the classical concert
genre. These such classical songs are deeply popular because they have been
sung for centuries.
Presenter: Sue Sigmon Williams received a Master of Music in Vocal Performance from Georgia State University. She studied in Europe and sang in the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus and Chamber Chorus for 17 years under the incomparable direction of Robert Shaw. Many in Atlanta are better concert-goers because Mrs. Williams has taught them to listen, learn and grow in their knowledge and appreciation of classical music.

MONTICELLO
At Monticello, Thomas Jefferson created an ideal world where he could test his ideas
about architecture, horticulture, agriculture, and efficient and convenient living. This world
was home to him as well as his large extended family and, at any one time, 130 enslaved
people whose labor made it all possible. In this course we will consider how Jefferson’s
education in Enlightenment philosophy prepared him for his achievements in his public
career as well as at Monticello. We will look at his house, gardens and plantation in the
context of his lifelong efforts to gather and apply “useful knowledge.” We will also learn
about many of the other people - white and black, free and enslaved - who inhabited this
world.
Presenter: Elizabeth Chew is Curator at Monticello, where she has worked since 2000. She was educated at Yale University, the University of London and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. An art historian, she is interested in relationships between architecture, material culture, and family, gender and racial politics. She is the co-curator of an exhibition currently on view at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History entitled “Jefferson and Slavery at Monticello: Paradox of Liberty.”

THE JOYS OF EDIBLE ROAD TRIPPING
Rewarding travel destinations may be closer than you think. In this class, you
will learn how a road trip planned around the foodways of a region can provide
you not only with wonderful taste memories and stories to tell, but a unique
understanding of a community’s history and its people – and perhaps new
insight into your own heritage. David Cohn, Greenville author, once wrote
that “the Mississippi Delta begins in the lobby of the Peabody Hotel in Memphis
and ends on Catfish Row in Vicksburg.” Participants will learn how the
underlying cultural richness between two such diverse endpoints comes
together.
Presenter: Susan Puckett, a native Mississippian was food editor of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution from 1990-2008. Susan has traveled most of her adult life following the “joys of edible road tripping”. Her experiences have resulted in several books, including her latest, scheduled for release by UGA Press in the fall of 2012, which tells the story of the Mississippi Delta through its eating and drinking establishments and customs. Susan does a regular feature in Atlanta magazine in which chefs pick out a traditional Southern recipe and reinterpret it.
A TALE OF TWO WOMEN
The rarely explored issue of Muslim women and the War on Terror is at the heart of award-winning journalist Deborah Scroggins’s extraordinary new book, Wanted Women: Faith, Lies, and the War on Terror: The Lives of Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Aafia Siddiqui. This provocative, meticulously researched book tells the story of polar opposites in the War on Terror through the dual biographies of two similar women who chose disparate paths: Ayaan Hirsi Ali, the Somaliborn author of the international bestselling Infidel, who faced down death threats as she spoke out against the subjugation of Islamic women; and Aafia Siddiqui, the Americaneducated Pakistani scientist with alleged links to al-Qaeda. Through the prism of these two women’s lives, Scroggins, author of the internationally acclaimed Emma’s War, delves into questions about what brought each to the ideological choices they have made, and what those choices tell us about the bigger issues of women and women’s rights in the Islamic world, and what these verities do and do not have to do with the War on Terror.
Presenter: Deborah Scroggins is an accomplished journalist with over twenty years of reporting experience. She is the author of Emma’s War, which was translated into ten languages and won the Ridenhour Prize for Truth-Telling. She has written for Vogue, Granta, the Nation, the Sunday Times Magazine, and other publications, and has won two Overseas Press Club awards, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award as a foreign correspondent for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. She was named Georgia Author of the Year by the Georgia Writer’s Association and lives with her family in Massachusetts.
