That's bad for the cow, but good
for Lockhart and Woodham.
The two USC graduates own One
Eared Cow Glass, the Huger Street
gallery where they make and sell
hand blown glass.
"We get a lot of questions about
our name," says Woodham, with a
MLLI1C. WU1 11151 olUUlU Wdb III d
Bishopville barn we were getting
rent-free from my uncle. He collects
antiques and junk. And in that
barn, when we first walked in, we
found this little wooden cow's
head."
They named their business after
the cow's head they nailed to the
front of the barn.
And from that first barn-studio,
the artists have expanded their business.
The glass they make, bottles,
vasps anrl small snilnfiirps. is snlrl in
* ?~ r-??> ? --galleries
around the Southeast.
"We're not financially well off,"
says Lockhart. "But we like what we
do."
