Inner Banks Arts found at Somerset Plantation
CRESWELL - The sounds of metal clanging, wood scraping and needles piercing fabric was apparent at the Somerset Place Craftsman’s Fair and will continue with Music and Literature on Saturday, August 14th. The Saturday program is free, fun, and family-friendly that offers authentic experiences to all.
During the 1840s, the 100,000 acre Somerset Plantation functioned as a village unto itself. It was necessary to have a blacksmith, a woodworker, seamstresses, and other artisans in the community. Some of those traditional skills will be demonstrated by 21st century artisans. They will also display and sell their wares. Somerset’s “Made off the Land” traveling exhibit also will be on display.
Tom Kilian & Family will share handmade candy, local photography, painting and pottery demonstrations made of local clay along with their handmade glaze.
For additional information call (252) 797-4560 or (919) 807-7385. Somerset Place is located at 2572 Lake Shore Road, Creswell, NC 27928. Somerset Place is within the Division of State Historic Sites in the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources, the state agency with the mission to enrich lives and communities, and the vision to harness the state’s cultural resources to build North Carolina’s social, cultural and economic future.

Klian on Inner Banks Arts
In 2008, Tyrrell County sculptor Tom Kilian created the IBXarts.org Web site to support and highlight the work of artists living in the Inner Banks—the region east of North Carolina's Interstate 95 and west of the Outer Banks. IBXarts.org includes links to nearly 100 artists in 22 Eastern North Carolina counties as well as links to artist operated galleries, local arts council galleries and Inner Banks art schools. The Web site features selected artists, reviews their work and will serve as host to the IBXarts Fest in May 2010. click to view
