In January, graduate students from Warren Wilson College’s MA in Critical and Historical Craft Studies program were in residence at the Center for Craft in downtown Asheville, NC.

Named after celebrated wood sculptor Stoney Lamar, the Stoney Lamar Craft Endowment Fund supports the perpetual offering of fellowships to emerging artists and curators.
