Trevose Craftsman to Feature at Sugarloaf Festival

More than 250 craftspeople from around the country will showcase their handcrafted works at the Sugarloaf Crafts Festival in Oaks, Friday, March 15 through Sunday, March 17 at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center.

Some of those highlighted works will come from the hands of John and Peg Fischer, a Trevose couple who started SilverFisch Studios in 2004. They will debut several new pieces during the festival, ranging from jewelry, pens and wine stoppers.

The Festival will showcase the nation’s finest artistry, creativity and ingenuity. Exhibitors from around the country will congregate from all types of backgrounds with different talents and skills with a shared passion and dedication to producing one-of-a-kind, American-made fine crafts and art.

While perusing pottery, sculptures, glass, jewelry, fashion, wood, leather goods, metal, furniture, home accessories, photography and fine art, visitors will have a chance to learn about the resources each piece is constructed of, find out the backgrounds of their favorite artists, share creative inspirations and swap stories with community members.

In addition to domestically-created art, the Sugarloaf Crafts Festival features nonstop family entertainment and activities. Gourmet foods and seasonal favorites—including candies and chocolates, soups, artisan breads, jams and dips, syrups, and olive oils—will be available to sample and purchase from dozens of specialty food purveyors. Family entertainment will include interactive children’s activities and live music by contemporary performers.

The Sugarloaf Crafts Festival in Somerset will be held Friday, March 15 and Saturday, March 16, from 10a.m. to 6p.m.; and Sunday, March 17 from 10a.m. to 5p.m. at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, 100 Station Ave, Oaks, PA 19456.
