Welcome back artisans:
Suzanne Weil – Wheel-thrown pottery
https://www.suzanneweilpottery.com/
Suzanne (Sandwich) began throwing pots 30 years ago “when an introductory wheel throwing class in college grabbed me by my English-major collar and held on. I am grounded by taking part in the age-old practice of making things people use to do central, everyday tasks and exhilarated by making things with intention and integrity.”
Brian Stockman – Scrimshaw Carving

Brian(Tuftonboro) has dedicated his life to the study and practice of a variety of traditional indigenous and colonial artisan craft media, and large-scale figurative sculpture. Brian will demonstrate the art of scrimshaw carving. His work is in numerous private and public collections.
… and welcome to our new artisans:
Kathryn Field – En plein-air Landscape Painting
https://www.kathrynfield.com
Kathryn (Sandwich) – “In 1999 I began to investigate watercolor as a way to explore the more contemplative and quiet aspect of my creative life. It satisfied a need to work alone, quietly and to see immediate results. I painted outside and became sensitive to the ever-changing qualities of light and color on form.”
