Vail Village covered bridge Eagle Valley Ceramic Art Tile
$22.00
The wooden bridge over Gore Creek, at the head of Vail Village. It went up in the late 1960s, when Fitzhugh Scott was laying out the new resort village in alpine vernacular and wanted a covered entrance the way the small bridges back east are covered. In winter snow piles on the roof. In summer the flower boxes spill petunias over the rail. The creek runs loud beneath it in May when the high country melts. People stop in the middle and photograph it. Almost everyone.
Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
