Handmade work in the center of Asheville
The series showcases artists from the surrounding region who work in painting, glass, ceramics, wood, jewelry and metal. The scale of a one-day market makes it possible to talk with the person who made a piece, compare materials across booths and find work that feels tied to the creative life of western North Carolina.
Look beyond the first row of tents before choosing a favorite. Ask artists about their processes and whether a work can be shipped or adapted for a particular space. If you are buying ceramics or glass, ask about intended use and care. For jewelry or metalwork, it helps to examine details and finishes in natural light.
A good way to spend the day
Pack Square’s central location makes the market easy to pair with a downtown walk, but this edition ends in late afternoon. Arrive early enough for a full loop, then return to a few booths that stayed with you. The organizer schedules separate October markets on the 3rd and 17th; this guide is specifically for Saturday the 10th.
