As one of the first mediums in craft, the skill and mastery of wood has evolved into a celebrated material that members of the Southern Highland Craft Guild will showcase during Wood Day. From 10 am to 4 pm, makers will demonstrate and share their working processes with visitors at the Folk Art Center.
This free event not only educates the public on the rigors and talent that goes into woodworking but serves the mission of the Guild in preserving a longtime culture and heritage.

Our organization started in the Asheville region 92 years ago. As the oldest guild in the country, we now represent and sell the work of 900 regional artists.

Escape the hustle of downtown and take a drive up the Parkway to visit the Folk Art Center - there's plenty of parking, a bookstore, a craft shop, two exhibits, a museum, a library, and a hiking trail.
