This January, graduate students from Warren Wilson College’s Critical and Historical Craft Studies program will be in residence at Center for Craft.
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.
