ARROWMONT CRAFT CONVERSATIONS is a video series that highlights artists in the Arrowmont community. Our partnership with Arrowmont faculty and community members has contributed to Arrowmont’s longevity, growth as a school of arts and crafts, and our reputation as an institution that welcomes everyone. The artists who appear in this series exemplify the characteristics that represent the School — they span generations and are among the most experienced, capable, and innovative in the arts and crafts world.
Each of the artists in this series offers insights into their work and their reflections on being a part of the Arrowmont community. Visit youtube.com/c/arrowmont.
Join the conversation!
Arrowmont presents a series of virtual Instructor Roundtable discussions featuring Arrowmont instructors who represent diverse media and backgrounds — but who share a similar theme in their art. Check back here for upcoming Roundtable discussions and links to participate.
Special thanks to instructor Heinrich Toh who helped conceive and shape this new conversation series.
