“Fine craft is in our blood; a part of our soul going far back into history. Combining skills producing items for survival (clothing, tools, furniture, etc.) with meaning and beauty we end up with fine craft. It resonates with our core and brings us comfort – and sometimes reflection. Our lives are significantly enriched when we embrace fine craft into our daily activities. Hosting the Texas Fine Craft Show in The Woodlands provides an opportunity for everyone to be introduced to those fundamental roots from our past – and see how they remain part of us now and going forward to future generations.”
-Glen Rector, TWAC Board President
