Shop at the ocean’s edge in Bar Harbor, Maine at the 42nd Annual Mount Desert Island Directions Fine Craft Show, July 28-30, 2017 – Atlantic Oceanside Event Center.

Together with the Guild’s established member artisans, the Directions show brings new exhibitors to Bar Harbor. New member Joel Hokkanen, a woodworker from Rockport, Maine, will exhibit his one-of-a-kind, stunning lamps. Inspired by the curves and lines in nature, Joel’s wood and glass lighting will bring a warm glow and sculptural accent to the home that is both beautiful and practical. “My end-goal for any project is a piece that feels organic and natural. I look for beauty inherent in shape and form, rather than added ornamentation.” – Joel Hokkanen

Other first time, juried, exhibitors at the Directions show include; Jennifer Armstrong – fiber, Tim and Liza Fisher – wood and clay and Catherine Worthington – fiber.

Returning Guild artisan and ceramist, Jonathan White of South Portland, Maine says, “I see beauty in both natural and industrial objects. A steel mill furnace being reclaimed by rust is as pleasing to me as the first fiddleheads of spring pushing from the ground.” This duality is evident in his fascinating sculpture and pottery – both in his design and rich, flowing matte glazes.

Attendees of the show will shop for unique, handcrafted objects inside the event center as well as under a large tent outdoors on the lawn. Fine craft in wood, metal, clay, fiber, glass and mixed media will be shown at the 42nd Annual Mount Desert Island Directions Fine Craft Show – July 28, 29 & 30, 2017. Fri. 5-8pm, Sat. 10am-5pm & Sun. 10am-4pm. Admission $5; under 18 free. Atlantic Oceanside Event Center |119 Eden Street | Bar Harbor, Maine.
