- An Inspired Vision Craft work in Mississippi - like our music, art, literature and history - is as much a part of what makes Mississippi distinctive as our natural resources. The Idea Long before "the creative economy" and "cultural tourism" were popular initiatives, Governor William Waller theorized that organizing and fostering Mississippi's craft artisans would benefit the state's economy, image and tourism efforts. In 1973, he put into motion what would become the Craftsmen's Guild of Mississippi, and for 41 years, the Guild has been proving him right. Craft work ranges from traditional items, such as quilts, baskets, and wood-carved spoons to more contemporary items, such as metal and clay sculpture, fused glass, and handcrafted jewelry. By bringing the creators of these various crafts together with a united purpose, the Governor and the Guild has helped these artisans to flourish.
