Haverford Guild of Craftsmen Online Store

To say that it’s been a crazy year would be something of a gross understatement. I was supposed to do ±12 shows in 2020, and I ended up only at one. That’s where I sell 90% of my inventory. So yea… it’s been … interesting. However, the Haverford Guild of Craftsmen has opened an online store. Mind you, this is not a virtual show. It’s a full on shop site with a difference. The difference is that it’s curated and all of the artists are members of the Haverford Guild of Craftsmen, a chapter of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen. By shopping on that site, you’re also supporting local artists, all of whom are in the same boat as yours truly. So this holiday season, shop small, shop local and shop safe at home on the Haverford Guild of Craftsmen’s Online Store here!

By the way, if you’re tooling around on my site, products that are currently for sale on the Haverford Guild of Craftsmen’s site will have a link. Since the vast majority of what I make is one-of-a-kind, I try to limit the number of sites where they are listed for sale. So don’t be shy and click the links!

The Hunt for 2021…

As 2020 comes to a close (thank God!) I’ve already started to collect info and seek out applications for 2021… (assuming that 2021 is not a repeat of 2020). If you attend a cool show that you think I should look into getting into, then please or contact me!
