The Crafts Center: A Rich Legacy and A Strong Future

What exactly defines a “crafts center?” A place to make beautiful objects? A warm, inviting community center? A place to learn new skills and “use the other side of the brain?” Or consider this: a hub for collaborative, immersive practice that, through hands-on education, informs new innovations that have a strong economic impact and significant potential to drive growth in many sectors. The NC State Crafts Center encompasses all of these ideals and more, which makes it a unique and invaluable place on campus and within the Triangle community. Since I came on board as the director of the Center in March, I am constantly delighted and astounded by the quality of work that is made here by our students and patrons. The beauty of raku-fired pottery, the mastery of stained glass, and the lush tones of a woodturned bowl are part of the Center’s DNA – steeped in history and carrying forth valuable traditions in the making of handcrafted goods. Equally, in our STEM–based environment, the Center serves as the campus’s primary maker space – integrating creativity with engineering, science and technology. For example, each semester the Center hosts hundreds of freshman engineering students who learn to design and build their first projects here. Science students are using the Center’s clay studio and kilns to study the molecular makeup of clay based on various firing scenarios. In collaboration with the wealth of innovative thinkers and doers on our campus, the Crafts Center plays an integral role in researching, prototyping, and building – and in the process, delivering the ultimate fusion of form and function.

This is an exciting time to join the Crafts Center and explore your creativity and ingenuity in a welcoming, friendly and diverse environment. The Center is the embodiment of the NC State motto: THINK AND DO. And it is true: you can make it HERE! I hope to see you soon!

Joumana Medlej: Art in Times of Crisis The Crafts Center is proud to work in collaboration with the NC State’s Khayrallah Center for Lebanese Diaspora Studies and Arts NC State to host artist-in-residence, Joumana Medlej. Joumana’s visual language is based on Kufi calligraphy, the first great Arabic script, now largely forgotten even by native speakers. She received the essence of Kufi while working with master calligrapher Samir Sayegh, and went on to gain a deep understanding of it through her own practice and research. The stylized, repeated words that make up each art piece endow it with the script’s intrinsic qualities – an inner consonance of shapes and proportions that reflects classical teachings on beauty, making each of them a self-contained whole, a world with its own natural laws. Joumana will conduct several workshops and special sessions during her week here on campus. Please check our website for details and events!

Light hors d’oeuvres and beverages served at reception to follow.

Give to the Crafts Center Your gift to the NC State Crafts Center plays an essential role in providing arts education to all of NC State’s students and to the greater Triangle community. We offer different ways to support the Crafts Center so you can choose the one that’s best for you. Other personalized opportunities, such as endowments and facilities naming opportunities are also possibilities.

Ways to Give CASH GIFTS Cash gifts are the simplest for a donor to value for tax purposes. You can make a gift today online, by phone, in person or by mail. An unrestricted donation to the Crafts Center Enhancement Fund goes to helping maintain the facilities and equipment in each studio. For example, in the woodshop, we recently replaced some older equipment with new machines that have safety stops, which has saved us replacement blade costs – and fingers! The Crafts Center has a vast number of machines that are costly to maintain. Your contribution keeps everything running efficiently so our students and patrons can concentrate on their amazing creations.

STOCK GIFTS A gift of appreciated securities, including stocks and bonds, is an easy way for you to make a gift to the Crafts Center. These gifts provide both significant tax and financial benefits, such as bypassing capital gains taxes and providing income tax deductions.

GIFTS-IN-KIND We accept gifts-in-kind for those who want to donate equipment, artwork, furniture, supplies or materials that can be used by our many programs. Gifts of tangible items can help us broaden our course curriculum and enhance the learning experience.

MATCHING GIFTS Many companies and foundations will double or even triple the value of charitable gifts made by employees and their spouses, board members, and retirees. To find out if a particular company or foundation has a matching gift program,
