Come out tomorrow after our Intro to Spinning Wool on the Drop Spindle (3pm - 5pm) to see a fiber art exhibit featuring Berea College Student Craft right here in downtown Hindman. Come and go as you like. Finger foods provided!
At Berea College, students learn by doing. Since 1893, craft has been part of the College’s Work–Learning–Service program. Students design and make objects by hand while developing skills in collaboration, problem-solving, and creative thinking. Every piece offered is the result of that process.
Student Craft is not a degree program. It is an experiential learning environment where approximately 100 students each year engage in the full arc of craft. That work includes significant effort alongside their academic studies. The focus is education first. The objects are the outcome.
Historically, professional craftspeople would design products and train students to produce them. Today, Student Craft focuses on the student experience and offers them the opportunity to tell their own stories through the work they make.
