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.
