     Around Back at Rocky's Place features pieces from artists around the North Georgia area as well as those in the Southeast (see listing of Featured Artists and Gallery Artists).  Rocky's showcases a variety of pottery, from face jugs, churns, pitchers, etc. to whimsical pieces.  Other attractions are the paintings of some of the South's best folk artists.  We also carry canes, birdhouses, pillows, whirligigs, jewelry, and more.  Note that folk art is not perfect, and any piece of work listed is sold as is; many times an artist's work may be retrieved from an old barn or out from under a bed.  These are truly the treasured pieces. 

     The main feature is our "Folk Time" watches.  No one should be without a timepiece depicting R. A. Miller's "Blow Oskar" and Cornbread's "Fox and Guineas."

     Visit this site often and watch as we grow and add more of the gallery artists (see list) to featured artists (see list).  If interested in an artist whose work is not shown here, either visit the gallery or email for photos.

     We accept Visa, Mastercard, cashier's checks, money orders, and personal checks (will ship after check clears) in U. S. currency only.  Buyer will pay shipping costs.  Call or email to place orders.

 

     Directions to the gallery: If you are driving North on GA 400,  pass the North Georgia Premium Outlet Mall, go to the next traffic light and turn left on Highway 53, go 3 miles to the corner of Highway 53 and Etowah River Road,  turn right on Etowah River Road and the gallery driveway is on your immediate right, between the white rail fence.

     If you are driving South on GA 400,  turn right the traffic light at Harmony Church Road, go to the next traffic light and turn right on Highway 53, go 2.5 miles to the corner of Highway 53 and Etowah River Road, turn right on  Etowah River Road and the gallery driveway is on your immediate right, between the white rail fence.

     If you are driving from downtown Dawsonville on Highway 53 East, go almost 3 miles and you will pass Southern Auto Glass on your left, in about 200 yards you will turn left on Etowah River Road and the gallery driveway is on your immediate right, between the white rail fence.

Many people have asked about the name; we take the name in honor of a beloved canine companion, Rocky, who continues to watch over us daily and give us strength as we make this venture.
