North Carolina art,
artists and indigenous
NC mountain crafts are, like the mountains themselves, a true natural resource. From the centuries-old
functionality of a split oak basket to a whimsical mixed
media from Penland School of Crafts, the quality and variety of
arts and
crafts
of Western Carolina is among the best
in the country. NC mountain art offers a variety of media including pottery,
basketry, wood working,
painting, sculpture,
weaving, collage,
mixed media and more.
When you take home something
from an NC art gallery or
artist, you take home a little
piece of the mountains. |
