Craft Center Offers Summer and Fall Workshops
 
Get Out of the House and Into the Studio

Spend a week at Tennessee Tech’s Appalachian Center for Craft this summer while enjoying a creative and fulfilling learning experience in a stunning natural environment overlooking Center Hill Lake near Smithville. Work in professionally equipped studios including blacksmithing, clay, fibers, glass, metals, wood, and watercolor; there are classes suitable for beginners to professional studio artists.

Detailed workshop descriptions are on-line at the Craft Center’s website
www.tntech.edu/craftcenter/ or you can print a copy of the catalog in PDF format.

“The five-day classes run from 9am-4pm daily and are great for commuters, plus we offer room and board on-site for those who want to immerse themselves in the studio community, enjoy beautiful Center Hill Lake, our hiking trails, and take advantage of late afternoon craft demonstrations and slide presentations by our visiting summer workshop instructors,” said Gentry.

The Craft Center’s workshop instructors, experts in their fields, come from across the U.S. and abroad each summer to teach intensive, studio classes. Their personal work represents a wide range of functional and conceptual fine craft in blacksmithing, clay, glass, metal, fibers, wood and mixed media.

An exhibition featuring a variety of work is on display in Gallery One of the Craft Center. The Gallery hours are 9am-5pm, daily.

The Appalachian Center for Craft is conveniently located approximately six miles from Interstate 40 at Exit 273 (Smithville /McMinnville). Go south on Hwy. 56; turn left immediately after crossing Hurricane Bridge. This drive leads to the Craft Center. For more information call 615.597.6801 or 931.372.3051 or visit
