The International Collectibles and Antiques Show also hosts amazing artists who specialize in creating unique decorative items for the home – with a history, of course. One such artist, Kenny “The Tin Man” Hoff, salvages and harvests tin tiles from old buildings all over the country, then paints and stains them to create a gorgeous, one-of-a-kind additions to homes and businesses. With satisfied clients in the local community, Lake Norman and Lake Wylie, for example, he hand-crafts each piece with tiles that are 50-150 years old, then signs and dates them with the tiles’ specific history, creating striking works of art with universal appeal.
This show also features the East coast’s largest flea market, with more than 3,000 outdoor exhibit spaces, offering a vast selection of one-of-a-kind items at unbelievable prices.
