Who will you meet at the Handy House Artisan Fair? Sat., 9/20 from 10–3 p.m. (rain date, 9/21), 202 Hix Bridge Road, Westport MA
Handy House Artisan Fair, organized by the Westport Historical Society, showcases 30 local craftspeople who specialize in skills and traditional crafts commonly practiced in the 18th and 19th century.
Traditional craftsmanship, from blacksmithing to green woodworking, is still very much alive in Westport. The Artisan Fair offers a rare opportunity to meet these craftspeople, learn about their skilled hand work and human powered technologies through hands-on demonstrations. Some artisans will have their work for sale, so it will also be a chance to get a jumpstart on holiday shopping!
This event not only preserves and perpetuates knowledge about traditional crafts, but is also an opportunity for the community to reconnect to its own history, to visit the Handy House and to celebrate the special heritage of the town of Westport.
Also: Raffle featuring unique items made by artisans or donated by vintage market vendors!
