Description

The Appalachian Center for Craft, a satellite campus of Tennessee Tech University, is an 87,000-square-foot craft education facility located on more than 500 wooded acres on a peninsula overlooking Center Hill Lake near Smithville, Tennessee. The Craft Center is part of TTU’s Music & Art Department and offers Bachelor of Fine Arts degree concentrations in clay, fibers, glass, metals, and wood. Here, you can shop for one-of-a-kind contemporary and traditional fine craft in The Gallery featuring original, hand-made works by more than 100 regional craft artists. Experience contemporary fine craft exhibitions by regional, national, and international artists in the three exhibition spaces. Challenge yourself on the five wooded hiking trails on the Craft Center’s 500-acre peninsula surrounded by scenic Center Hill Lake. Trail maps are available in the lobby and indicate the level of difficulty of each trail. The Center also hosts craft workshops and special events.
