Both levels of the Center offer artisans exhibiting and selling works of clay, fiber, glass, leather, metal, mixed media, natural materials, paper, wood and jewelry. The Fair showcases the work of members of the Southern Highland Craft Guild with members living in the mountain counties of nine states from Maryland to Alabama.
Now in its 69th year, The
Fair offers a variety of craft ranging from contemporary to
traditional in works of clay, wood, metal, glass, fiber, natural
materials, paper, leather, mixed media, and jewelry. After a curation
process of two juries, over 150 makers from the Southern Highland Craft
Guild will carry on the legacy of the Fair.
The
Southern Highland Craft Guild is a non-profit, educational organization
established in 1930 with headquarters at the Folk Art Center
on the
Blue Ridge Parkway in Asheville, NC. The Guild region covers the
mountain counties of nine southeastern states from Maryland to Alabama,
representing over 900 craftspeople. The Craft Fairs are one of the ways
in which the Guild fulfills its mission which is to bring together the
crafts and craftspeople of the Southern Highlands for the benefit of
shared resources, education, marketing and conservation. To learn more
