Haystack Mountain School of Crafts

aka Haystack   |   Deer Isle, ME   |  www.haystack-mtn.org

Mission

A research and studio program in the arts, Haystack’s original mission was to teach fine craftsmanship, develop latent or inherent creative ability, and carry on research and development in connection with the crafts. The vision was refined to include the investigation of craft in an aesthetic climate, honoring tradition while acknowledging the rich potential of contemporary visual art. People come to Haystack to develop and discover skills, nurture their creativity, ask questions, reassess their work, and push into the unknown. The combination of a stunning natural setting, a unique campus designed by award-winning architect Edward Larrabee Barnes, and the focused energy of the school community, provides an environment that supports serious exploration of craft, ideas and imagination.
