The Maine Crafts Guild, in celebration of American Craft Week, will present the Brunswick Fine Craft Show on October 8 & 9, 2016 in Brunswick Maine at the Fort Andross Mill Complex. This American Craft Week event will offer excellence in fine craft designed and handmade by professional Maine artisans.

American Craft Week began as a small, grassroots effort to enhance the knowledge and appreciation of handmade craft. In 1975, these same principles inspired a community of Maine artisans to establish the Maine Crafts Guild and continue to guide the organization.

“American Craft Week has caught the imagination of so many supporters,” said Diane Sulg, founder and co-chair of the event. “With the growing appreciation of both artisan products and American-made goods, craft is highly regarded for its strong design, quality materials, expert workmanship and enduring value.”
