May 18 - August 17 - HandMade in America hosts the exhibition Craft as Object in its downtown office gallery space, located at 125 S. Lexington Ave, Suite 101 in Asheville.
Juror’s Statement: Whether traditional or progressive, these objects share a common characteristic. They are exceptional. Here is freedom on display. Contemporary makers seem equally at liberty and at ease shaping their media into well-known styles or inventing unprecedented combinations of form, purpose, and expression. Tiffany(esque) beakers. A timeless nightstand. A quilted inflatable ball. An impeccable teapot. Steel feathers. These objects illustrate the true independence of contemporary craft as it is practiced in our rich region and around the world. We have much to celebrate. -Marthe Le Van
