elcome to our preview
of the two American
Craft Council Shows that
begin a fabulous 201 2 season -
Baltimore and Atlanta.
There's plenty to be excited about
this year. Here are some highlights:
• The country's top contemporary
craft artists will gather in Baltimore
on Feb. 24-26 and in Atlanta on
March 9-11 to present their latest
handmade creations of jewelry,
clothing, furniture, home décor, and
more.
• For the first time, we bring you
our Style Makers, folks in each of
our show cities who share our love
of craft, and value and invest in
beautiful, one-of-a-kind handmade
objects. See page S97 to meet this
extraordinary group of people.
