“I wish my state had the vision and support Kentucky gives
its artisans. This has been one of the best hands-on workshops I have ever
attended,” said participant Kim Cavender of St. Albans, West Virginia.
The conference provided a unique opportunity for gathering and networking among artists who share in the creative energy generated at the event. Two events where this was most evident was the annual Rude Osolnik Award Dinner honoring the late Byron Temple and a special night-time glassblowing demonstration by nationally known Kentucky glass artist, Stephen Rolfe Powell. Call (888) 592-7238, ext. 4801 or e-mail mailto:%20kycraft@mail.state.ky.us, to be placed on the mailing list to receive future workshop announcements.

The 2002 workshop,
On Center at Centre, was held August 9 and 10, 2002, at Centre
College in Danville. In an effort to make the workshop beneficial to
veteran as well as beginning craftspeople, sessions were offered at both
the beginning and the more advanced levels. Two workshops on glass were
offered: hot glass and flame working, as well as three workshops on clay:
porcelain, polymer clay, and mold making. A progressive fiber workshop was
also held that addressed backgrounds, embellishments, and
super-embellishments, with two notable Kentucky fiber artists as
instructors. A session was also offered on the art of hand-tooled
furniture making, specifically Windsor chair making.
