Southern Highland Craft Guild Glass & Metal Day

Makers of the Southern Highland Craft Guild are preparing for the launch of their 2019 special event programming at the Folk Art Center with the fourth annual Glass and Metal Day. As a non-profit organization, the Guild provides experiential learning opportunities for the public to cultivate awareness of both handmade and craft. This is one of five Guild educational events hosted throughout the year at the Folk Art Center.

More than a dozen Guild members will showcase their skills and techniques of glass and metal in the auditorium of the Center.  These masters will be blacksmithing, glass blowing, piercing and annealing metals, knife making, bezeling, repoussé, soldering stained glass, forging and many other manipulation processes. Visitors will have the opportunity to watch and learn more about two of the original craft media.
