These master artisans who create functional artworks using wood, carved leather, bone, beaded textiles, antler, silver, and iron (to name just a few) are juried into the BWH Legacy Artisans’ Group by an anonymous jury. Only those individuals demonstrating the highest quality of workmanship, with an eye toward the western tradition, are invited to join. Their work is exhibited in the Legacy Artisans’ Gallery. Many of them are represented in the Western Design Museum & Archive, and serve as artists-in-residence at BWH’s onsite workshop and demonstration space, our Design Center.
