Mountain Artisans Summertime Show
Written By: - NONE - | Issue: 2017/06 - June
The 28th Annual Mountain Artisans Summertime Fine Art & Craft Show will be held on Saturday and Sunday, June 24 and 25, inside the Western Carolina University Ramsey Center in scenic Cullowhee, North Carolina.
The Mountain Artisans Shows are noted for featuring the biggest selection of authentic handcrafted arts and crafts in the area. Fans are attracted to handcrafted heritage and contemporary crafts and enjoy being able to purchase original art and meet the artist who made it! Exhibitors are carefully screened before they can become part of the Fine Art & Craft Shows.
Look for handcrafted pottery, glass creations, and fine wood art. The Heritage Category includes goat milk soap, quilting, and folk dolls. Several of the old-time quilters still make them one at a time just for you. Pine needle baskets, white oak baskets, hand tied brooms, and cotton woven rugs are hard to find but are usually featured from show to show.
Some of the most skilled doll craft, leather craft, and master jewelers around exhibit. Many of the gourd artists have won awards in competitions. Shoppers love the folk art, one-of-a-kind birdhouses, and designer fabric purses. And you’ll find just about the best artists in pottery and clay art.
There will be concessions and live music by Ronnie Evans.
This year’s featured artist is Roberta Brown-Roberts exhibiting her Pressed Flower Art. She actually “paints” pictures with dried petals of 120 different blooms. Her grandmother taught her this traditional art back home in Maine. Roberta later moved to Tennessee for the longer growing season for her flowers. Visit pressedflowerart.com to learn more.
Show hours are from 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. each day. Admission is $4.50 for adults with children under 12 admitted free. The convenient parking is free.
