Southern Highland Craft Guild Kicks Off Spring with Glass and Metal Day at The Folk Center

April 2, 2016, 10 AM - 4 PM at The Folk Art Center, Milepost 382 on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Asheville NC:   Glass and Metal Day.  With Spring around the corner, things are starting to heat upat the Folk Center.

Kicking off the season of educational events is the first Glass & Metal Day at the Folk Art Center. Several of the newest Guild members will be participating, both on the anvil and blowing glass. Earlier this month The Center hosted New Member Orientation for their growing family of artists, and will be sharing more about them with you.

The auditorium will be full of talented craftsmen and women skilled in metalsmithing and jewelry, alongside glass blowers and their kiln. With two of the five original media of craft, nearly 20 Guild members will be bringing the heat.

Through the course of the year, The Folk Art Center hosts a range of events. From Spinning Circles to Dulcimer players, The "Center" is aptly named as a central place of sharing the best of mountain craft and art. To keep up with these happenings, they have created a new online calendar -  CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE EVENTS.
