Come Explore the Easter Arts & Crafts Show in the Smoky Mountains
By Jim Watson © 2011, All Rights Reserved
In the Great Smoky Mountains, more than flowers bloom at Easter.
Every spring, artists, craftsmen and historians converge on the
Convention Center in downtown Gatlinburg, TN. They flock to this
well-known event from all across the country to see the
incredible creations of those who normally reside amidst the
eight-mile looping trail named the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts
Community. Every April marks the time for this annual Easter Arts
& Crafts Show that features local talent.
Nationally Recognized Artisans Present Their Best Work
This yearly event is the brainchild of the Great Smoky Arts &
Crafts Community. This creative village is comprised of the
biggest collection of independent artists and craftsmen in the
United States. Since 1937, their impressive work has made its
home along the historic eight-mile loop: a Tennessee Heritage
Arts and Crafts Trail with national recognition. From April 20 to
April 23, 2011, everything you could ever consider worth
displaying in your home, collecting or giving to a treasured
friend can be found right here.
Wander alongside row-upon-row of colorful booths and displays.
Talk to the artisans as they create small masterpieces in front
of your very eyes. There is no smoke and mirrors here. The
craftsmen stay true to their roots. The work, traditional in
concept and marvelous by device, is all designed and produced by
hand. It doesn't get any more American than this.
Find Every Type of Craft You Can Conceive Of
Whether you are a longtime fan or a newcomer to this showplace,
you can look forward to original works and classic collectibles
produced by whittling, chainsaw cutting, painting, sewing,
casting, weaving and carving.
Gaze in wonder as clever fingers and hands produce unique gifts
and treasures such as baskets, brooms, candles, ceramics and much
more. Among other things, you can select from some of the finest
silver jewelry and wearable handmade fashions, along with leather
goods, artwork and candles. Think this is like every other show
you have ever attended? Not so! The range of skills on display
and the remarkable array of unique handicrafts produced will
surely astound you.
Rare Art Forms on Display and for Purchase
For instance, the Easter Arts & Crafts Show is one of the few
places you can observe and purchase scrimshaw. This ancient art
form began with American sailors aboard whaling ships carving
intricate patterns and pictures onto pieces of whalebone. Today,
artists devoted to this tradition have taken over, engraving on
various types of bone. This truly American art is rare, but
available at the Easter Arts & Crafts Show.
This is where tradition lives on in the work of craftsmen, some
of whom are now 2nd or 3rd generation. What are you waiting for?
Grab your girlfriends, pack up the family or set up a church
outing and head to Gatlinburg soon. The Easter Arts & Crafts
Show happens only once a year, so make your plans now for a
Smokies getaway April 20-23.
