Friday, Saturday, & Sunday, Oct. 7-9—WESTON—The 33rd annual Weston Craft Show will be held over Columbus Day weekend, Oct. 7, 8, and 9 in the historic Weston Playhouse located on the Village Green, Route 100, Weston. The show runs from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. each day. Admission is $8. The show features 46 juried artisans from around Vermont.
This year the show welcomes new Board Chair, Sara Young. Some of the new artisans this year include Kate Goetz and Sumio Seo from Hartsboro Pottery in Wallingford. Seo uses the rich earth tones of traditional Japanese glazes. Goetz uses delicate porcelain for her lively, functional pieces. Jeweler Lori Yarrow from Hinesburg features the intricate channel inlay of the Zuni and Hopi traditions. Judith Guisto creates bold, statement pieces from silver and brass. Jon Black’s jewelry is contemporary and minimalist. Joining fellow woodworkers Bob Gasperetti and Mark Yuengling will be Bud Nadeau of Chester, whose hand-crafted furniture is a mixture of unique woods, curly maple, flame birch, and curly cherry. Fiber artist MaryAnn Bennett of Bellows Falls is the current Vice-President of the Vermont Weavers Guild. She uses wool, bamboo, and cotton in her beautiful, functional textiles. Ellen Howard creates beautiful wearables inspired by nature.
All proceeds support Weston’s three historic museums and Cold Spring Brook Memorial Park. A light luncheon is available for purchase to show attendees in the West Town Eater. For more info, visit westoncraftshow.com.
