Maine Crafts Guild artisans will show their handmade fine craft in wood, metal, fiber, clay and mixed media at the United Farmers Market Event Center, August 11-12, 2018.
The Guild is known for its flagship “Directions” show on Mount Desert Island and has a long-standing tradition of fine craft shows throughout the state. This inaugural show in Belfast will be held alongside the growing United Farmers Market on Saturday, August 11 and will open for a second day on Sunday, August 12.
Attendees will experience a gallery-like show in an intimate setting overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. While shopping and visiting with some of Maine’s most accomplished craftspeople, attendees can learn about both time-honored and modern techniques in handcraft. Textile artist, Amelia Poole of Brooksville is an artist raised by scientists and enjoys explaining the steps required to achieve her distinctive eco-printed textiles, while Paige Carter of Cape Elizabeth has an interesting history to share behind her hand-painted floorcloths – a craft dating back to the 18th century.
Fine jewelry, home furnishings and fashion apparel are among the handmade items exhibited for sale at the Belfast Fine Craft Show on August 11 & 12, 2018. Sat. 9am-5pm & Sun. 10am-4pm.
