FREE ENTRY / Blue Line Arts - By Hand

Description:

This international fine craft competition exclusively features handcrafted items. This competition will include everything from furniture to elegant vases and jewelry.  Wall hangings to macramé and sculptures made from glass, clay, wood, metal and fiber. There are no material limits in this competition.

In our vision fine craft embodies the essence of human touch and the soul of each individual's artistic journey. Fine craft focuses on the skills of artisans as they transform raw materials into exceptional works of art. Each piece tells a story of dedication, passion, and creativity, reflecting the artist's unique vision and craftsmanship. Through their labor of love, everyday objects are elevated to new heights, becoming not just functional items, but cherished expressions of beauty and artistry.

We want to see what you have made, by hand!
