COOKEVILLE, Tenn. (Feb. 28, 2005) – The Appalachian Center for Craft in Smithville, a satellite campus of Tennessee Tech University, will feature an exhibit by six resident artists from March 9 through April 13 in Gallery Two.

A reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, March 18, with each artist presenting short slide lectures beginning at 6 p.m.

The six artists featured in the exhibit include Lisa Klakulak, who specializes in fiber; Masako Onodera, metals and glass; Alec Slinde, textiles; Wes Smith, clay; Ethan Stern, glass; and Kimberly Winkle, wood.
