Re: IWF Alert: Student furniture wows crowds

Red F also took home an award at IWF!

Haywood Community College’s professional crafts program is one of the best! (Okay, I admit to being a tad partial!)

Besides excellent instructors, the program is demanding, classes are small and it is very affordable! Many schools teach the basics of design and technique, but HCC was one of the first to teach the whole range of skills needed to succeed. Right after graduation, I opened my own studio and started selling work. And I wasn't saddled with a big student loan.

Beside woodworking and design, students learn art history, machine maintenance, marketing, studio planning, finishing, drafting (and now some CAD), bookkeeping and write a business plan.

I personally can’t understand why everyone doesn’t come here.

When we move into our new state-of-the-art Creative Arts Building, stand back. Here we come!
