EVENTS & CLASSES
Chimneyville Arts Festival
Each December, the Chimneyville Arts Festival celebrates our artisans while providing patrons a central place to procure new pieces for their own collections and to purchase meaningful gifts.
The 2023 Chimneyville Arts Festival was held at the Bill Waller Craft Center in Ridgeland. Guests enjoyed this fantastic show of Mississippi fine crafts with a Preview Party and Festival.
Creative Craft Camps
Each summer, the MS Craft Center hosts multiple sessions of Creative Craft Camp to introduce children to the joy of making things with their hands.
Expert members of the Craftsmen’s Guild of Mississippi immerse your child into a fun, creative, and hands-on experience, teaching them the techniques and history of their craft through creating one-of-a-kind pieces of art to take home and cherish for years to come.
