Lambert first started building the lamps after his wife and daughter asked him to create different décor from teacups and saucers. He has now made more than 100 cup-and-saucer lamps in addition to lamps made from teapots, cream pitchers, cookie jars and other ceramic pieces.
Lambert can make lamps made-to-order from other peoples’ old ceramics. People can contact Lambert directly at 828.456.4523.
Sir Lamps-A-Lot is one of many local artists who will have their work on display during the two-day event.
Stephen Dobyns has written 20 novels and more than 10 volumes of poetry; however, he is difficult to “classify.” His writing is praised by big league names as varied as Francine Prose and Stephen King, but he is most famous for a “sexual harassment” charge brought against him while he was teaching at Syracuse University (allegedly, he was overheard making “salty and crude” comments at a party).
