Three legendary designers and cultural historians gather in Winston-Salem to discuss the heart of the home, the spaces where we eat, drink, and gather to seek comfort and connection. A daylong seminar with noted experts will explore both the history of southern food and current trends in southern design.
Stan Dixon, an architect based out of Atlanta and Owner of D. Stanley Dixon Architect Inc, will explore in depth how to architecturally design spaces for dining and entertaining with a specific emphasis on the Southern dining rooms and kitchens he’s worked on. Dr. Jessica B. Harris, James Beard Lifetime Achievement Award Winner, will speak to southern culinary history, some of her favorite recipes, and the most memorable southern kitchens and interiors she has visited. Finally, Thomas Jayne, Owner of Jayne Design Studio and winner of the Andrew Martin Interior Design Award, will speak with J. Thomas Savage about how he incorporates traditional and historical design elements into southern dining spaces. The afternoon will end with a final opportunity to mingle with speakers, obtain signed books, and explore the MESDA galleries. |
