A vast grain belt surrounds this metropolitan area. Farms and ranches spread out in every direction, and small towns dot the plains like planets circling their sun.
But something besides wheat and barley is sprouting here. A burgeoning community of artisans is taking shape. In towns from Havre, near the Canadian border, to Cascade, south of Great Falls, to Browning, near Glacier National Park, people are paying more attention to their artistic side.
Their skills span the spectrum: jewelry, woven wheat, photography, fiber, painting, ceramics.
A booklet called "The Craft Heritage Trails of North Central Montana" http://www.handsofharvest.net is a guide to all this talent.
It can be ordered online at Hands of Harvest: Number of Guidebooks $6 x = $ Total Due/Amount Enclosed = $ sent to info@handsofharvest.net.
