American Craft Week Events: Oct 6-15, 2017

This will be the 8th annual American Craft Week (ACW), a 10-day event which was created to celebrate the skills and artistry of American crafts people and their work.

American Craft Week runs from Friday, Oct. 6, 2017 to Sunday, Oct. 15, 2017 and Western North Carolina will have a heaping abundance of opportunities for visitors to get involved in the festivities.

So once again, Mountain Made is a proud sponsor of ACW . And the artisans at MOUNTAIN MADE are getting into the spirit of things by hosting several live art demonstrations during the upcoming week.

This year, we will be highlighting Tebbe Davis’s beautiful oil paintings as well as the works of all our local artisans.
