Everyday Arts
06 April 2024Join the East Tennessee Historical Society as we celebrate Everyday Arts! Throughout history, people created items they needed – often in artistic ways. These crafts served a purpose while also lending beauty to everyday life. From pottery to broom making, spinning to quilting, meet modern-day artists who have mastered these ancient crafts. Explore the gallery to see historic examples of these arts and take your turn at creating your own at the make-and-take stations. This family friendly event is free and open to the public.
