In January, graduate students from Warren Wilson College’s MA in Critical and Historical Craft Studies program were in residence at the Center for Craft in downtown Asheville, NC. Housed in the Center for Craft’s lower level “Ideation Lab,” the winter residency inspired productive conversations that reflected the students’ physical surroundings; ideas were built collaboratively starting at a ground-level.
The Center for Craft received a $5.7 million gift from the Windgate Charitable Foundation of Little Rock, Arkansas to endow the Center’s longstanding fellowship programs. Named after celebrated wood sculptor Stoney Lamar, the Stoney Lamar Craft Endowment Fund supports the perpetual offering of fellowships to emerging artists and curators.
2017 Windgate Fellowship recipient and ceramicist Breana Hendricks used her $15,000 grant to travel, expanding her historical research, while further developing her skills in making.
