STUDENT CRAFT INDUSTRIES

For many of the students, involvement with Student Craft is their first time formally exploring art, craft, and design—an example of the unique opportunities of the Berea College experience.

Through these explorations and many others within Berea College’s Labor Program, Craft expands the learning opportunities of a liberal arts education beyond the lessons in the classroom. These experiences directly support their student's professional goals and pave the way toward a future avocation, nurturing and supporting the arts.
