Why Make? Episode 14: Valerie Berlage
Happiness and fun are two very important elements in the practice of Asheville, North Carolina furniture artist and maker Valerie Berlage. In this first, full episode of the 2020 Season we have a down-to-earth conversation with Valerie, another fellow Haywood Community College alum, about how she brings her functional art to the everyday with her line of jewelry, home accessories and small furniture. Along with the elephant in the room… talking with Valerie about her social media proclivities and her extensive, space threatening, wood scrap collection can't be avoided.
