American Craft Week celebrations ~

October 3 - 12, 2014

Join us as we celebrate the wonders of American craft by recognizing the enduring value of handmade. During the Celebration of American Craft Week you can meet accomplished craft artists; experience the excitement of contemporary craft-making; enjoy a special exhibit; & help raise money for Empty Bowls by taking part in our fundraiser.

About this national event, from the founders at Craft Retailers & Artists for Tomorrow (CRAFT): It's an opportunity to celebrate the wonders of American craft. Every day thousands of American artists share their vision and talent by producing amazing hand-made decorative and functional objects. And every day thousands of craft retailers share their love of these items by displaying, promoting and selling them. As one craft artist put it, "this is the creative economy!"
American Craft enriches our homes, wardrobes, offices and public spaces. It contributes to our nation's economy, our balance of trade, and the fabric of our national history. It is original, beautiful and enduring, so let's tell the world!

This is one of our favorite times of the year ~
