Rodney Meyer - October Fine Craft Fair

Need inspiration for autumn?
Visit our Fine Craft Show, October 20 & 21 in Blue Bell. 


Thomas GlassThis craft show is our most intimate of the year, featuring 90 exhibitors inside and around the newly renovated College Hall.  These craftsmen have poured out their inspiration into thousands of designs.  Preview them here, and let the wheels of your mind start turning.  Each year more than 3,500 people make the trek to bring handcrafted joy into their lives.  

It is our last year hosting a fine craft show at Montgomery County Community College.  Join us in our farewell show and give this show a proper send-off - buy tickets in advance or RSVP on Facebook.  Directions are here.

Hours are Saturday 10 am to 6 pm, Sunday 10 am to 5 pm. Food available including paninis, salads, soup and warm drinks. Admission is $5 in advance, or $7 at the door.  Order tickets online or by phone, call 717-431-8706.

Volunteers at the new Guild headquarters

Be part of the tradition:
Volunteer at our fall shows or new facility!


Last year almost 50 volunteers helped us host the independent artists and craftsmen in Blue Bell for our October fine craft fair.  We still have lots of 2-hour shifts to fill this year, too!  We'll enjoy the craft and company whatever the weather brings.  

You're also always welcome to help make your guild headquarters stunning by volunteering in downtown Lancaster. There are still lots of workshop space improvements underway!  

Contact Jenny to find out how you can lend a hand by calling 717-431-8706 or emailing jenny@pacrafts.org.
