Our Story
Honoring Appalachian tradition, one handmade piece at a time
At Old Mountain Field Fine Arts & Crafts, we believe every handmade item carries more than beauty — it carries a story. Our story began with a simple but heartfelt mission: to celebrate Appalachian heritage, uplift local artisans, and share the creativity of West Virginia and Kentucky with the world.
For generations, families in these mountains have quilted, carved, painted, and shaped the materials around them into treasures for both everyday use and lasting keepsakes. These crafts are more than hobbies — they are traditions, passed down from grandparents to grandchildren, each stitch and stroke carrying the history of the hills. We knew these talents deserved a place where they could be seen, appreciated, and cherished.
Building community through craftsmanship
Step inside our doors, or browse our online collections, and you’ll discover everything from hand-thrown pottery and delicate stained glass to heirloom quilts, mountain-inspired jewelry, paintings, textiles, and more. Each piece is made with patience, skill, and love — the kind of craftsmanship you simply can’t find in mass-produced goods.
But Old Mountain Field is more than a shop. It’s a community. When you buy a quilt, a mug, or a piece of jewelry here, you’re not only bringing home something truly one-of-a-kind — you’re helping an artist keep their lights on, put food on their table, and continue doing the work they love. You’re also helping preserve Appalachian traditions that risk being forgotten in our fast-paced, disposable world.
