Arts & Crafts


People who love arts and crafts have been enjoying the Apple Festival in Hickory for many years. Our first year, we had only one craft demonstrator: one man whittling exquisitely detailed miniature wooden workboots with laces for a modest crowd. This year, many thousands of people will be at the festival, enjoying more than 100 tables of arts and crafts displays. A large number of craftmakers will also demonstrate how they make their items, and the effort, time, and skill that go into their work.

Quilting demonstrations and finished quilts bring one of America's finest crafts to life at the Apple Festival. Above is a quilt in progress. Below are pattern ideas for future projects.

Unique handmade baskets make sensational presents for a friend, relative, or for yourself! The creators of these beautiful and functional baskets demonstrate how it's done, too.

These rugs, woven on a loom, outlast storebought versions by many years.
Handmade quilts, dried flower arrangements and wreaths, wooden toys and furniture, ceramics, angel decorations, leather items, stained glass, seasonal items, jewelry, brooms, wire items, decorated miniature hay bales, hand-woven baskets and rugs, homemade candles and soaps, handwrought iron items made by a blacksmith, metal sculpture, handspun and woven items, and hand-painted wooden items (tole painting) are among the many arts and crafts that will be on display.
