HandMade: The Western North Carolina Craft, Architecture & Design Expo HandMade in America is launching a new event in June 2010. BY BARBARA BENISCH HandMade: The Western North Carolina Craft, Architecture & Design Expo will bring together craft entrepreneurs, architects, builders, designers and the public to experience the possibilities and access the resources for purchasing or commissioning an original work for the home. Through model rooms, home tours, workshops and presentations, participants will be inspired and educated about integrating craft in the built environment. The two-day event at The NC Arboretum in Asheville will offer examples of successful collaborations between craft artists, individuals, and home building and interior design industry professionals. Drawing from the tremendous craft resources that are a unique and vital part of the region, the event will emphasize craftsmanship in architectural elements and design. Model home rooms integrating handmade objects in construction and decoration will be featured. The event will offer educational sessions, craft sales, and commission opportunities for artists. Tours of homes and offices that exemplify the use of craft in the built environment will be scheduled during the two days of the event. Teams of architects, designers and artists have been invited to collaborate on the creation of vignettes, both indoors and on the Arboretum grounds, that illustrate the concept of integrating craft in the built environment. Landscape architects will demonstrate use of handcrafted objects in the garden. Keynote speaker Toni Sikes, Founder and Artist Advisor of The Guild, Inc. will share her thoughts on the importance of details in our homes and our lives, followed by a reception for all participants and ticket holders on Friday evening.
