Hard Candy Christmas
Written By: Doris Hunter | Issue: 2018/11 - November
The 31st Annual Hard Candy Christmas Arts and Crafts Show has changed dates from the Thanksgiving weekend to the first Saturday and Sunday in December. The hours are the same, 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., each day and the same Mountain Christmas Tradition. The Western Carolina University Ramsey Center in Cullowhee, North Carolina, is still the location and original art and crafts at great prices are the same.
This year’s show features fresh mountain greenery wreaths, gingerbread ornaments, and live guitar music from Ronnie Evans. Over 100 regional artisans will also be selling their handiwork.
Sharon Blaine Turner is an award-winning Doll Artist from the Foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in upstate South Carolina. She comes from a long line of mountain artist and craftsmen who have left her with a rich heritage – one in which she had developed into her own unique style.
“I cannot remember when I wasn’t creating something,” Sharon says. “My fascination with marionettes and colorful, whimsical elves is what inspired me to start creating Art Dolls 17 years ago.”
We are proud to have Sharon as our Featured Artist for the 2018 Hard Candy Christmas Show.
