Pioneer village site for crafts fair
Extraordinary is a good description of the fine crafts that you will find at the fair referred to as “A Celebration of the Extraordinary.” The Stones River Crafts Association is once again presenting the work of a select group of craft artists on the park-like lawn adjoining both Cannonsburgh Village and the Murfreesboro Greenway System.
In its third year, the event is quickly getting a reputation for featuring fine crafts from the Middle Tennessee region. The collector will find both functional and decorative pieces in many forms for use indoors and out. Jewelry, pottery, sculpture, photography, stained glass and wood are some of the many crafts represented.
Take a break and help the children create some crafts of their own with the hands-on activities in the children’s tent.
Watch artists demonstrating wheel thrown pottery, jewelry making, wood carving and welding sculpture. The demonstration area will be open both days.
Plan on eating lunch on the grounds where several food vendors will be on hand to provide everything from snacks to whole meals.
Booths will close on Saturday at 6 p.m. and on Sunday at 5 p.m. There is no admission charge. Free and paid parking are available.
Stones River Crafts Association was established to develop, encourage and preserve the fine crafts of the Stones River region through education and promotion, so s to create new audiences, develop intracommunity relations, support artists and provide the community an opportunity for creative and cultural experiences.
