Greetings from the Director
Welcome to the Arkansas Craft School! Our main studio is located right in the heart of beautiful, historic downtown Mountain View, Arkansas. Known nationally for its traditional craft and music since the Folk Festivals of the early 1960’s, Mountain View is the destination for many seeking a quaint get-away to the Ozark Mountains. This charming town provides Craft School students lodging options within walking distance including a motel, cabins and bed-and-breakfasts. As we are located right off the Courthouse Square, students also have access to an assortment of cafes, restaurants, shops and galleries - all within a few blocks; as well as to renowned impromptu evening jam sessions performed by local musicians.
The tradition of preserving and perpetuating precious cultural commodities has been given new life with the formation of the Arkansas Craft School. Join us soon for a workshop that will open new vistas, hone already established skills or just help you reconnect with your artistic spirit. We look forward to meeting you.
Sincerely,
Terri Van Orman
