The Buzz -- The Mountain Artisan shows are highly anticipated because they present authentic art and crafts from the hands of 100 regional and mountain artisans. This year’s show will feature both contemporary and traditional artist. Mountain homeowners will be able to purchase hand made rustic furniture, an original painting or stained glass panel. Many of the old traditional crafts will feature: A Shaker broom maker will demonstrate his craft on a 100-year-old machine. The bowed psaltery makers will be playing the old tunes on their instruments and showing you how easy it is to learn. The “forgotten mountain berry baskets” can be purchased from the demonstrator. Other mountain crafts will be quilts and wall hangings, pinecone birds, goat milk soap, weavings, and pottery. Our featured artist will be Regina Coffee who uses clay to reproduce barns, historic homes and farm
Houses. Each piece is fired and hand painted. She can bring to life your old home place if you bring her a photo. Other exhibitors include rustic birdhouses, jewelry, folk art, fine art, weaving, woodturnings and much more. For a complete look go to mountainartisans.net.
