White Oak Craft Fair set
Exhibitors, both inside as well as in tents on the grounds, will offer their original textiles, jewelry, woodcarving, metalwork, pottery, photography, chairs, baskets, ironwork, stained glass and much more.
“The fair offers something of interest for everybody who delights in items and products that are individually designed and hand crafted,” said Carol Reed, Arts Center marketing director.
Among the exhibitors will be William Kooienga, a renowned drum maker with clients that include Micky Hart of the Grateful Dead and Armando Peraza from Santana’s band.
Settled happily on his farm near Smithville, Kooienga is highly sought after for his unique creations in wood and stone. His skill and talents are expansive and his works can be found in various displays around the country. In addition to his famous drums, William is also renowned for his totem poles, wood sculptures, rock sculptures and walls, and even builds log homes – including his own.
