Appalachian Center for Craft

The Appalachian Center for Craft, a satellite campus of Tennessee Tech University, is an 87,000 square foot facility on a wooded, 500+ acre peninsula overlooking Center Hill Lake near Smithville, Tennessee. The Craft Center is part of TTU’s Music & Art Department and offers Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees and non-degree Craft Certificate programs in clay, fibers, glass, metals and wood. The site is home to the William Stacey Memorial Trail System which consists of four hiking trails ranging from easy to difficult. There is printed material available at the site.
