PROGRAM UPDATE
FOLK ARTISAN ASSEMBLY & EXHIBIT - 3
THINGS
Friday 4pm-7pm ; Saturday, 9 am- 5 pm
We are all
students. Whether an artisan with years of experience or a
first-time learner, North House celebrates and honors life-long
learning in its many forms. To create the “3 Things” exhibit, we
asked the artisans and instructors of North House to bring three
things to exhibit: a piece that reflects their beginnings in craft,
one that reflects their developing skill and a third piece
suggestive of new directions in their creative process. Their works
will be on display, and several artisans will be on hand to
demonstrate their craft. Short talks will punctuate the day as
featured instructors reflect on craft and the learning process.
