Guild member since 1974

A founding member of the Craftsmen’s Guild of Mississippi, Fletcher is the recipient of many awards, including the Governor’s Award for Excellence in the Arts. He designed and built the desk in the lobby of the Craft Center. His woodworking creations can be found in homes, churches, offices, and museums throughout the country. Fletcher loves to work with local wood. At present, he is working with several pieces of red oak which came from author Eudora Welty’s front yard. He was given the wood by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, and when he is done, the proceeds will help fund the Eudora Welty Foundation.
