Bart Crowe - Craftsman and Dad

Bart Crowe has been an exhibitor at the Christmas House for several years and now a member of the Christmas House core committee in charge of the new point-of-sale system.  Here's a little more information about this master craftsman.

Bart Crowe is an artist working in wood, stained glass, fused glass, jewelry, pottery and painting. Furniture-making and woodworking have been long-time hobbies for Bart. He learned these crafts from his grandfather – a carpenter, cabinet-maker, and home builder – and his father. Out of an endless curiosity and love of learning new skills, Bart later learned the art of glass-working and jewelry-making, and, more recently, pottery and painting. Bart has been blessed to train under many talented local artists in addition to teaching himself.

Bart has a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and was a training supervisor and computer progammer. In 2002, he left the technology field to be a stay-at-home dad to his oldest daughter. It was during this time that he returned to his love of art and craftmanship. Bart lives in Marietta, GA and is also a stay-at-home dad to his youngest daughter.
