Handmade Holiday Crawl:

The Handmade Holiday Crawl is an annual event hosted by Tennessee Craft Midstate Chapter where the public is invited into the studios of middle Tennessee's finest makers. Artists will be present to tell you about their process and show you their studios. Most artists will also have work for sale, making this a great way to shop locally this holiday season while supporting the arts and the tradition of "handmade in Tennessee."
