HandMade hosts visiting Textile Artists for upcoming Workshop

HandMade in America is hosting visitors - textile artists - from Kyrgyzstan on Friday, July 30th, 10AM. Their visit is sponsored by the Open World Leadership Center, which is a program of the Library of Congress. Our visitors will include four textile artists from Kyrgyzstan. These women are also leaders of organizations which support traditional handicrafts. We'll also have the Director of the Union of Folk Artists and a graphic artist who is one of the country's cultural visionaries. Their trip includes both Santa Fe and Asheville -- to give them an introduction to two of the handicraft/ folk art centers in the U.S. and to give them an opportunity to learn about the organizations that support handicraft. Please email or call to let us know how many to plan for. The workshop will be held at HandMade in America, 125 S. Lexington Ave. Suite 101, Asheville North Carolina.
