Wedge Studios

Wedge studios, an iconic building in Asheville's River Arts District, was founded by metal artist John Payne. A pioneer of the River Arts District, Payne converted this 100-year-old triangular three-story building into a studio for his metal "Kinetosaurs" and leased the remaining studio spaces to fellow artists.  Payne's vibrant legacy lives on in the twenty working studios and brewery that found a home in the building.  The Wedge Brewery anchors the dock level of the building with a 10BBL brewery & tasting room, with expansive outdoor seating that attracts creatives and beer drinkers alike to share the space, stories, and good beer.
