The Craftworkers’ Guild is one of the oldest craft organizations in New Hampshire. We are a non-profit organization that strives to bring together people interested in handcrafts and the fine arts. The Craftworkers' Guild goals are simple:
We offer a variety of enjoyable programs. Whether you are an active crafter or just enjoy “hanging out” with people interested in arts and crafts, join us! Membership is open to all.
Three times
a year, The Craftworkers’ Guild opens its doors for the Seasonal Arts and Crafts Shops
at the historic Kendall House in Bedford, NH. At our Spring,
Harvest and Holiday shops, our members fill Kendall House with truly unique,
well-made arts and crafts. People from near and far know this is a great place to
find that something special and return each year to shop. Members’ work is juried for these shops to ensure our products are always of the highest quality. Visit our Craftworker's Guild Membership page to learn how to become a member and participate in our seasonal shops! ____________________________________________________________ 2011-2012 Purpose: As part of its mission, and in accordance with the organization’s desire to contribute to its home community, the Craftworkers’ Guild offers a $500 scholarship to a deserving student who will be continuing his or her education in the arts upon graduation from Bedford High School.
