What do Tan France (“Queer Eye”) and Katherine Gray (“Blown Away”) have in common? They’ll both be helping raise money for Center for Craft, an AVL-based nonprofit.

These two celebrities will be on center stage and in discussion for Craft Watch, a virtual event with all funds directly supporting Helene recovery efforts by Center of Craft. It takes place on Thursday, April 3 at 7 p.m. and tickets are $25 per person.

France and Gray’s conversation will be focused on the present day and future of crafting. Plus, it will be moderated by Deborah Needleman, former editor-in-chief of “The New York Times Style Magazine” and “Wall Street Journal.”

Note: Any tickets from the rescheduled date in October 2024 will be accepted.
