Artisan Woodworking & Design Gallery
Crafting Heirlooms in Knoxville
Teeming with creativity, Artisan Woodworking & Design Gallery (AWADG) stands as a testament to the enduring beauty and craftsmanship of custom woodworking. Celebrating its first year of operation, AWADG has already made significant strides under the guidance of Elizabeth Grant, a visionary with over 30 years of experience in interior design, building, and home furnishings.
Elizabeth’s journey into the world of custom woodworking was driven by her lifelong passion for crafting unique and meaningful pieces. At AWADG, this passion is brought to life by a team of local woodworkers who dedicate their skills to creating heirloom-quality furniture, cabinetry, and architectural design elements. The on-site woodworking shop not only serves as the heart of production but also as a bridge connecting clients directly with the artisans crafting their future heirlooms.
What sets AWADG apart is its commitment to producing one-of-a-kind, custom-built furniture and woodwork, tailored to the individual needs and visions of its clients. Working closely with interior designers, architects, builders, and homeowners, AWADG ensures that every piece is a reflection of personal style and excellence. The showroom/gallery further complements this by showcasing masterful craftsmanship alongside art by local and regional artists.
Elizabeth’s connection to the Knoxville community shines through her extensive volunteer work and fundraising efforts for local organizations and causes. From chairing designer showhouses to supporting Second Harvest food collections and the KBGA Green Thumb Gala, her commitment to giving back is unwavering.
AWADG is bustling with activity, offering unique events such as a Soapstone Pendant Carving workshop and preparing to celebrate its one-year anniversary with an Open House and special discounts. First Fridays at AWADG are not to be missed, featuring demonstrations, special events, and literary celebrations in honor of April’s reading and literacy acknowledgments.
For those seeking to infuse their spaces with the warmth and timeless beauty of custom woodwork, or to partake in the vibrant community events AWADG hosts, Elizabeth Grant is your go-to contact.
Artisan Woodworking & Design Gallery is more than a woodworking shop; it’s a hub of creativity, craftsmanship, and community in Knoxville, dedicated to enriching homes and lives with the timeless beauty of custom woodwork.
