Wel<strong>com</strong>e to <strong>Berea</strong>, home to a thriving population of<br />
potters, weavers, instrument makers, furniture artisans,<br />
jewelry designers, glass workers, painters, sculptors,<br />
and musicians. The story of <strong>Berea</strong>’s artisan <strong>com</strong>munity is<br />
interwoven with the dynamic history of <strong>Berea</strong> College,<br />
home to a student crafts program that preserves traditional<br />
Appalachian arts. The college was founded in 1855 as<br />
the first interracial and coeducational college in the South,<br />
and the town grew up around it. <strong>Berea</strong> has a longstanding<br />
tradition of diversity, social justice, environmental<br />
responsibility, and <strong>com</strong>munity service. Both college and<br />
town are <strong>com</strong>mitted to the practice of sustainability.<br />
Several of the students choose to live “off-the-grid” in the<br />
school’s Eco-Village, <strong>com</strong>munity artists have “adopted” rain<br />
barrels to raise conservation awareness, and the town itself<br />
has <strong>com</strong>mitted to a strategic plan to promote sustainable<br />
eco-tourism.<br />

FESTIVAL OF LEARNSHOPS<br />
LEARNING IS NOT A SPECTATOR SPORT.<br />
In <strong>Berea</strong>, we believe the best way to learn is to do.<br />
Simple as that.<br />
That’s why we call our workshops Learnshops. And celebrate<br />
the joy of learning by doing at an annual Festival of<br />
Learnshops, (July 12-28, 2013). Imagine two solid weeks<br />
of master craftsmen, artists,<br />
musicians, chefs, awardwinning<br />
writers and experts<br />
in sustainable living sharing,<br />
showing and inspiring.<br />
Then imagine yourself right<br />
there with them. Choose from<br />
introductory to advanced<br />
level classes, from two-hour make-and-take sessions to a<br />
weekend devoted to dulcimer music or organic gardening or<br />
a week-long concentration in painting, glass work, or creative<br />
writing.<br />
