Reading-Berks Guild of Craftsman is pleased to present the following event:
We decked the halls with lots of holly and beautiful hand-made treasures by over 80 craftsmen and fine artists who work in both contemporary and traditional styles to make your visit to the Reading-Berks Guild of Craftsmen’s 68th Annual Juried Holiday Fine Arts and Crafts Festival and Sale the best ever. Santa has been checking his list and he says this is a “must attend” festival. To help you with your shopping list you will find traditional wood turnings, braided and penny rugs, folk art, theorem paintings, calligraphy, basketry, tinsmithing, toleware, redware, block printing, quilting, felting, weaving, furniture, carvings, paper mache, shaker boxes, fine ceramics, pottery, glass beads, gold and silver jewelry, dried florals, wearable art, photography, fine artwork, paper, stained glass, paper cuttings, etc.; everything to fit under your tree.
Special for 2017: The Goldilocks log cabin made by juried members will be raffled off. Every miniature from Goldilocks and the three bears to the porridge bowls are handmade. This is a must see! A scavenger hunt will be taking place to find items in the exhibitor booths. Be on the watch for these items! If you find all 20, you will win extra tickets for the raffle! There is a Student Gallery and Live Music by the popular “Acoustic Road Show” and a cafe to satisfy those hunger pangs from shopping. The first 50 Early Bird Holiday shoppers will receive a present that Santa picked especially for them.
