![]() HOURS January 2012 THE COTTAGE CRAFTSMAN is a unique gallery and market that celebrates traditional and contemporary fine art, craft, specialty foods, wine and music with a focus on those artists and craftsman who live, work and play in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Artisans who use — and re-use — natural materials, often gathered locally, to create handmade products reflecting the appalachian heritage of the region. A local broom maker still grows his own broom corn from heritage seeds, while giving the corn silks to another artisan to use as hair on her handcrafted corn shuck dolls. A quiltmaker uses historic patterns applying both modern and traditional techniques, and our basket weaver creates reproductions of historic basket patterns. Our local artisans craft hand-painted gourds; and turn mountain hardwoods and clays into bowls, platters and vessels. Our jewelry designers work with a variety of materials, including silver, gemstones, precious metal clay, and mixed media to create original styles of wearable art. Debbie Mills 828-488-6207
