Rockhouse Mountain Crafts Guild
Crafts Guild
Woodworking, cabinet making, furniture making, metal working, stained glass, pottery, ceramics, glass making, textiles and jewelry combine the need to make a living with the need to create things of beauty. The Craft oriented small business satisfies The Rockhouse Mountain Institute’s objective of supporting quality-oriented small business.
Crafts have the ability to bestow the hand-made aura of quality and humanness to an otherwise mundane, uninteresting, standard, machine-made, machine-like world.
The Rockhouse Mountain Crafts guild is committed to making crafts, preserving the knowledge of making crafts, teaching crafts, and to helping craftsmen succeed in marketing and selling their products.
