Meet the Makers: Laurel, Mississippi’s Thriving Artist Community
Where sculpture, paint, clay, and wood come together in one remarkable small town. Long before Laurel became synonymous with HGTV and home renovation, it was a city shaped by craftsmen. The timber barons who built her wide boulevards and Craftsman bungalows did so with an eye toward beauty as much as function, and that instinct never really left. Today, Laurel is home to a quietly remarkable cluster of working artists: a sculptor whose corten steel figures have landed in public collections across the country, a painter whose raccoons and dandelions have taken on a life of their own, a potter who turns raw clay into community in a converted studio off Sawmill Road, and a woodworker-turned-television-star who made the whole world fall in love with this place. This is not a curated arts district with velvet ropes and wine hours. It's something more interesting, a real creative town, still doing the work.
