CONCORD, NH – The League of NH Craftsmen represents excel-lence in fine craft through the work of its juried members, and its rigor-ous standards for self-expression, vision, and quality craftsmanship.Many of the League’s supporting members are also talented artisans and the Members’ Juried Exhibi-tion, which starts on October 4 and runs until December 11 at The Gal-lery at The Craft Center and head-quarters on 49 South Main Street in Concord, gives them, as well as juried members, an opportunity to showcase their work to the public. This is the 26th time that the exhi-bition has been held.

Both juried and supporting mem-bers of the League were invited to enter this exhibition (a list of the 43participants appears at the end of this release) and a panel reviewed all submissions and selected some for competitive, juried awards. The awards juror is Gretchen Key-worth, who will review all piec-es in the exhib-it for excellence in each medium. Keyworth is the Director Emerita/Former Chief Cu-rator at the Full-er Craft Museum in Brockton, MA and a notable fig-ure in the craft world. The awards

will be announced at 6 pm during the Opening Reception on Friday, October 4.

The 26th Members’ Juried Ex-hibition features a wide variety of work in several media: furniture, including among other pieces, a rocking chair, a carved ladies dress-ing table, and a carved arm chair; colorful spun yarn; hooked rugs; wall hangings; a pewter centerpiece bowl; a carving knife and fork in a marquetry box; a life-sized, needle- felted monkey; a beaded purse in the Abenaki tradition; jewelry, in-cluding a silver bracelet inlaid with turquoise, carnelian, and picture hickoryite; a hand-smocked child’s dress; prints; and a wide variety of decorative and functional clay piec-es.

The opening reception, where the public can meet and speak with the

participating exhibitors, is sched-uled for Friday, October 4 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Awards will be pre-sented at 6:00 pm. The Gallery is lo-cated at 49 South Main Street, Suite 100, in Concord, NH and is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, and Saturdays, during the exhibition, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

“The League values its supporting members and their love and appre-ciation for fine craft. Many of them have taken their interest to anoth-er level and are making their own craft. The Members’ Juried Exhibi-tion is a long-standing League tra-dition that celebrates the talents and creativity of our juried and supporting members,” said Susie Lowe-Stockwell, executive director of the League of NH Craftsmen.
