Welcome to Workshops at the Appalachian Center for Craft!
The complete 2012 summer schedule is now available online!
The Craft Center offers 50+ hands-on craft workshops each year in blacksmithing, clay, fibers, glass, metals, and wood. We offer classes for all skill levels, from the beginner to studio professionals.
For 2012, the Craft Center is making some customer-requested changes to the schedule! You will have the opportunity take a weekend or week-long class in May, June, and July, instead of having all the weekend and week-long classes grouped together, as we have done in the past. You told us that this made it harder for you to find dates that fit your schedule, and we hope these changes offer more flexibility for you.
