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.
