The Craftworkers’ Guild Holiday Shop — Last Weekend! Celebrating 100 Years of Craftsmanship, Community and Creativity
The Craftworkers’ Guild is proud to celebrate its 100th anniversary with the return of our annual Holiday Shop — now with an extended schedule! The shop will be open 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, Wednesdays to Sundays through December 21st. Our shop is located at the historic Kendall House, 3A Meetinghouse Road in Bedford, behind the Bedford Library.
Now in our centennial year, the Guild continues to honor a century-long commitment to excellence in fine craftsmanship. This year’s Holiday Shop features the work of over 50 local Guild member artisans and craftspeople, showcasing a rich variety of handmade goods — from timeless New England traditions to fresh, modern designs.
“As we mark 100 years of craftsmanship, community, and creativity, we’re excited to offer an inspiring collection of work that honors our history while looking toward the future,” says Carol Davis, President of the Craftworkers’ Guild. “Each fair brings something new, and this year’s shop is especially meaningful as we celebrate a century of handmade excellence.”
Shoppers will find a curated selection of locally made, juried crafts, with something for everyone — from stocking stuffers to large art pieces, including seasonal décor, Christmas ornaments, photography, fine art and prints, cards, woodworking, textiles, pottery, fiber arts, sewn and knitted items, soap and body care, gourmet goodies, candles, jewelry, glass, and more. Many items are one-of-a-kind, perfect for gifts or treating yourself.
Proceeds help support the Guild’s ongoing arts education initiatives in the community, continuing our mission to inspire creativity for the next generation of artists and makers.
