Arrowmont played host to a great opportunity to talk Craft School Experience: the Surface Design Assocation's 2015 Conference MADE/AWARE: SDA CRAFT + CONCEPT INTENSIVE. It was a chance for something Craft is all about--connecting with other artists. Present Arrowmont Resident Artists connected at Arrowmont as presenters, attendees and facilitators. We'll have more reports to come, but here's a photo from the meetup:


Students, instructors, artists and designers from across the globe attended the 4-day intensive. Past resident artists and current employees, Heather Ashworth (Wood Studios Technician) and Jason Bige Burnett (Program & Studios Manager) helped facilitate pre-intensive workshops and conference activities. Julia Gartrell and Skye Livingston, current resident artists, assisted Heather and Jason.
