Meet the Maker:
Conversations of Meaning
with Craftspeople

Craft Campus lecture/workshop series

This year-long workshop and lecture series focuses around meaningful conversations with individual craftspeople, artists, and designers in each one of the craft media: metal, clay, wood, glass, fiber, and mixed media.  The goal of the series is to link the conversations with the "Makers" to the life of the viewer/user of contemporary craft. The power of knowing how experiences with handmade objects and craft enrich, change, and sustain is what drives this unique series. The series aims to generate awareness of contemporary craft practices and their significance in Western North Carolina and beyond. Connections to other departments are many but highlights may include connections to Sociology, Environmental Studies, Economics, Classics, Art, Multimedia Arts/Sciences, Arts and Ideas and History.  All events are free and open to the public.
Sponsored by the UNCA Cultural and Special Events Committee.
