Visit the 74th Annual League of NH Craftsmen’s Fair, August 4-12, Mount Sunapee Resort, Newbury, NH. View and purchase the latest work of over 350 League craftspeople and observe hands-on demonstrations. To mark the League’s 75th anniversary, this year’s Fair will include some special events, including such as a Collector’s Forum and special guest craft demonstrations and lectures, and the highlight ­– a birthday bash with a performance by folk and blues recording artist Tom Rush and a vibrant fireworks display. Contemporary and traditional fine handcraft in virtually every type of craft medium, including furniture, jewelry, glass, pottery, prints, metalwork, fiber arts, woodcarvings, weaving, sculptures, and leatherwork, are on display in the craft tents and exhibitions and may be purchased. These handcrafted items represent the fine skill and creativity of more than 350 juried members of the League of NH Craftsmen. There are daily demonstrations and workshops for all ages on the traditional methods of making fine handcraft. Glass blowing, woodcarving, and furniture building – these are just some of the craftmaking skills that will be on display. These demonstrations and workshops are given by juried members of the League of NH Craftsmen, as well as invited guests from arts and crafts organizations. Daily musical performances complement the lively atmosphere of the Fair and are included in the Fair admission price.
