The Cottage Craftsman - A Mountain Gallery and Market

HOURS January 2012

Saturdays 10am-5pm

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.

Evy Elizabeth - Bryson City, NC
Sterling & Pewter Wine Charms, Bracelets

Evy and her Wine CharmsEvy Elizabeth is a seven year old artist living n the mountains of Western North Carolina.

The day Evy turned eight months old, her mother set her down on a beach blanket, turned away for a moment to get the sunscreen and looked back to find Evy walking down the beach, twenty feet away, chasing seagulls.

Ever since, Evy has enjoyed discovering beautiful and interesting things in nature. When Evy is not busy with drawing, metal embossing or beadwork, she can usually be found kayaking the cold waters of the Nantahala River or doing cartwheels and back handsprings.
