I was recently at the League of Craftsman Fair which lasts a week in Sunapee and houses among other things, blown glass, pottery, woodblock and etchings, hand knitted items of clothing, quilts, and wearable art of silver and gold.
As might be expected, I hung out in the New Hampshire Art Association tent and demonstrated on the first Saturday of the week with my daughter Elli, posing for what has been altered and changed over the past few weeks (look for those images in the next journal I post,) but meanwhile I also showed painted works from my garden.
There is undeniably something for most anyone, but the actual excitement of the fair comes from the energy of the artists,
their excitement in being around others who are invested in, or perhaps just curious about art,
and their willingness to share ideas, techniques, and approaches. There were wonderful people all pooled together, having a great time learning to see through someone else's eyes.
