The Big Crafty is a great inspiration to makers of all varieties. The event itself exudes a fantastic D.I.Y. energy; an “anything is possible” feeling. It is very empowering for the community! The Big Crafty has given me a beautiful community of makers and supporters. I consider The Big Crafty to be my primary fundraiser and because of the event’s supporters, I have been able to reach far beyond Asheville.
