Best in Pennsylvania Crafts Gallery

A themed exhibition is held annually during our November craft fair for juried members of the Guild.

2012’s theme is ‘A Thing or Two’.

As always, the theme is open to the maker’s interpretation.  Here is a thing or two to think about as you come up with a concept for your work:

• #2
• Second year at the Convention Center
• Connections
• The idiom ‘Know a thing or two’
• Collaboration between two makers*
• Two works

*collaboration is optional and must be between currently juried members. Each member must apply and pay the entry fee to be eligible to exhibit the work.
