The Signature of Excellence

The League of NH Craftsmen celebrates the “spirit of the maker” by encouraging and promoting the creation, use and preservation of fine contemporary and traditional hand craft. The League represents the signature of excellence in fine craft, through the work of its juried members, and its rigorous standards for self expression, vision, and quality craftsmanship.

Spirit of the Maker Demonstrator Series

The League of NH Craftsmen recognizes and honors its juried members who, by demonstrating their craft, educate and inspire members of the community. Our craftsmen will be demonstrating in each retail gallery. Follow the schedule and be a part of this exciting program by attending the demonstrations, meeting the craftsmen, and seeing how fine crafts are made. Check each retail gallery webpage for times.
