Mountain
Artisans Shows 'Where all the good artist are' !
The Mountain Artisans shows are famous for featuring just the
biggest selection of authentic handcrafted art and craft in this
area.
Mountain Artisans promotes two events each year. The July "Summertime
" show is held the week end closest to the Fourth of July. The
"Hard Candy Christmas ", a Mountain Christmas
Tradition, is always the Friday and
Saturday after Thanksgiving.
Both events are held inside in
the Western Carolina University Ramsey
Center in scenic Cullowhee, North Carolina.
It
is centrally located only 45 miles southwest of Asheville;
just minutes from The Great Smoky Mountains.
In
July, many
exhibitors work outside the building demonstrating heritage crafts such as blacksmithing. A wood wright hews out buckets by hand and a bowl wright hews dough bowls using the old time adz.
If
you ever wanted to play the Pluck Stick, here is your
opportunity.
The best chainsaw
sculpture around will be skillfully shaping amazing bears
and the vanishing art of chair caning will be there also.
Each
exhibitor at these shows are carefully screened to be
the best in their field. The
customer can purchase a quilt or rustic furniture and meet the
artist who made it!
There
is a wide selection of heritage and contemporary crafts
including: Glass, Woodworking , Doll craft,
Leather, Natural Materials, Fine Art and Folk Art, Jewelry, Gourd Art, Birdhouses,
and Designer Fabric purses.. Many of
the hard to find crafts like Pine needle baskets and bark buckets
. We have just the best of pottery and clay art.
The
Lucas family will be playing the old songs on the psalteries
they make and showing you how easy it is to learn !
You will
understand why everyone who attends our shows just says : "Wow" when they
attend and plan to come back next year!
