BUCK MEEKA gleaner of the forgotten, Buck Meek tips over the familiar and turns the unknown into a companion. On The Mirror, the artist’s fourth solo record and second album released by 4AD, there’s a tender power, countered by immutable vulnerability. With an uncanny curiosity, Meek conjures twin worlds to reveal the uniqueness in the mundane. Inviting in reflection as collaborator and demon as friend, The Mirror doesn’t seek to know but to ask, looking to the shape of a question rather than the illusion of its answer.
Meek grew up in Wimberley, Texas, teenage protege to an old guard of mystic Texas songwriters and musicians. He later moved to New York where he met Adrianne Lenker. The two lived in a van while singing their songs across the country before forming Big Thief.
The partnership of Meek and producer, James Krivchenia, emerged from a decade of work together in Big Thief. Conceptually, The Mirror emerged from the idea to combine Meek’s band’s live, kinetic energy with an oblique electronic world. The pair invited a collective atmosphere in which simultaneous experiment could occurr––the musicians responded to each other in real time, while their instruments triggered modular synthesizers and electronic magic boxes. The Mirror welcomed in friends, family, longtime collaborators from ranging musical eras of life as vital co-creators. New creative partners and longtime friends like composer and ambient musician Alex Somers joined in on synthesizer, toy microphone, and piano, and Mary Lattimore brought in the sounds of her prismatic harp.
Lexical mirrors are handheld, tactile, and kept close throughout the record––each one holding up a new truth. The Mirror aptly embraces the unknown with an abiding curiosity and Meek continues to reveal his skill as translator of human feeling and its endless portals. The Mirror looks for duality, finding it in the weeds and overgrowth.
“My demon is my darkness and my darkness is my angel /
I taught him how to read, now I’m teaching him to write.”

Join our intercultural summer day camps where children 6-12 years old explore music creation, international dance, music instrument building, and other forms of art in a joyful and supportive environment. Each child receives personal attention and a meaningful creative experience.
Join us at Ignite's metalsmithing studio where you'll make a set of 3 gold fill and silver rings (or all silver) in this jewelry workshop. The instructor will walk you through all the steps, including soldering with a torch, so you will leave with a complete set of rings made to size.
Ages 12 and up welcome!
So you want to set odd shaped cabochons? I’ve got you! In this class you will learn to hand fabricate a custom sterling silver bezel setting for stones with varied shapes and heights. Through this experience you will use skills such as sawing, filing, soldering, bezel setting, finishing, and various polishing or surface texture options.
Experience is great, but not necessary.
This is a skills based workshop, but you will leave with a finished pendant.
I will have rose cut stone options available the day of class, but if you have an irregular or interestingly shaped cabochon you are hoping to set, please bring it. Just keep in mind that it needs to have a flat back (or close to flat) and if it is too large or too tall for the materials we have, we may be limited; in that case I can give you guidance on what materials you would need to procure to set it on your own in the future.
Workshop Cost $200
Materials Fee $40-$60 depending on your choices of materials
**Show up at Ignite Jewelry Studios anytime between 11pm and 3pm to make your charms!

After a quick demo by the instructor you can spend the next 45 minutes to complete your masterpiece.
Our magnetic tumbler will polish your piece to perfection and you have an option of some finishing patinas as well. Upgrade to earrings, make additional pendants for friends etc.
$45 Base Price includes a brass charm, gemstone drop, jump ring, and base metal chain. (Some silver upgrades available for additional cost and additional pieces may be purchased to make gifts, extras, etc!)
This is family friendly, kid friendly ages 6 and up (but the littles will need help with the hammering), and a great rainy day or indoor activity in downtown Asheville!
