Grant Recipient
Windgate-Lamar Fellowship
2017
"The Windgate-Lamar Fellowship will allow the time and experiences necessary to seamlessly connect my undergraduate studies to my professional life as a maker. I plan to audit psychology courses at the University of Pennsylvania and take Precious Metals and Alloys, a one month long intensive course at Alchimia: Contemporary Jewellery School in Florence, Italy. These courses will fast track the conceptual and technical methods I am pursuing in my work. The university courses will give me the research and in depth knowledge I need to continue to make work addressing psychopathology, while the intensive in Florence will teach me how to personalize my work using uniquely crafted alloys in combination with the psychological understanding."

In order to increase the value and relevance of craft to society, the Center works to advance the understanding of craft in higher education, museums and cultural institutions, and across disciplines. Field building strategies include convening thought leaders, creating, documenting and disseminating research, and launching innovative leadership initiatives. We provide grants and fellowships to emerging and established craft artists, curators, and scholars in order to build a future for the field of craft.
Recognizing that Asheville and the surrounding area has been a bastion for craft in the United States dating back to the Cherokee, the Center is actively working to preserve and advance the craft legacy of Western North Carolina through the development of our property in downtown Asheville, North Carolina and through a series of exhibitions and community-focused initiatives.
