If you love handmade things such as quilts, pottery, woodwork, jewelry, and all the good stuff, here’s something pretty cool you might want to know about.
The Appalachian Arts & Crafts Fair is getting ready for another year, and they’re looking for local artists and makers to be part of it. This fair has been around a long time and brings together folks from all over Appalachia who love creating things with their hands.
It’s the kind of place where you can walk the aisles, meet the people who made the work, hear their stories, and maybe even learn a thing or two about how it’s done. Whether someone’s been crafting for years or just getting started, this fair is a great way to share your work and connect with others who care about Appalachian art and tradition.
If you are interested, the Yellow Daisy Arts and Crafts Festival will be held at Stone Mountain Park in Stone Mountain, Georgia, from September 10–13, 9 AM to 5 PM each day. It’s a well-loved festival sponsored by the Georgia Department of Economic Development, and it’s a wonderful place for makers to meet new folks and share their work. If you’d like more details, you can reach out at exploregeorgia@georgia.org.
If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe I could do something like that,” this might be your sign. And even if you’re not an artist yourself, it’s just nice to know these kinds of events are still keeping our mountain creativity alive and well.
