Teach at the Craft Center
The Appalachian Center for Craft workshops explore a diverse range of topics and techniques led by professional makers. Students of all skill-levels and ages (above 18) receive hands-on instruction in our fully equipped studios. Our offerings have traditionally included workshops in blacksmithing, clay, fibers, glass, metals and wood, however we are excited to invite instructors working in other disciplines and fields to propose a workshop.
To submit a workshop proposal, please click the link below and use the form to share
your proposal. We keep all proposals on file and will consider your application for
future opportunities at the Craft Center.
