The 73rd Annual Fall Edition
Craft Fair
of the
Southern Highlands
join us for another virtual fair!
November 12-15th
Our first ever Virtual Fair (July 16-19) was a new experience for both craft lovers and artisans. Our in-person October Fair, scheduled for the 15th-18th, 2020 has been cancelled and rescheduled for a virtual event, November 12-15th. Our Virtual Fairs recreate the craft experience online through live streams, craft demonstrations, and online booths where visitors can shop directly from artists. This page will go live with links to artist websites at midnight, on the eve of November 12th. Stay tuned for updates!
Fall Virtual exhibitors
FEATURED MAKER
"Trees are magnificent, often living beyond several human lifetimes. When a tree dies its inherent natural beauty can be an ongoing voice. With playful exploration and focused tool work, I developed methods sculpting original winged forms on the lathe at high rpm - Cascading Diamond Boxes, Kissing Fish Vessels, Manta Ray Boxes, Spirit Birds with Captured Artisan Marbles, Trillium Boxes... I strive to reveal the extraordinary beauty of fallen trees in artistically elegant, engaging, functional and inspirational ways." - Mike Sorge
