The Best Kept Secret in The Berkshires! #FineCraft!

Posted by veryspecialjackets on

We kick off our fall season, every year since 2001, in one of the most culturally rich areas in the North East,

Great Barrington, Massachusetts, in The Berkshires, at

The Berkshire Crafts Fair

The buzz at the show is the quality here is on par with The Smithsonian and The PMA Craft Show,

and there is some great work here you won’t find anywhere else!

So if you don’t know of this secret, plan a weekend, take in the show and maybe a concert at Tanglewood, a dance performance at Jacob’s Pillow, some of the great shopping and galleries in Lenox, such as Sienna Patti Contemporary,  The Norman Rockwell Museum, and so much more!   If you do know about the secret, see you soon!

Berkshires Throwback

I have often said The Berkshire Craft Show is my favorite show to do.

Kicks off our season in early August, and we are nonstop from then on.

So relaxed, and so much to do besides the show!

Culture abounds!

Here are some memories from 2012! The next show is coming soon, August 8-12

Upscale Craft in the Berkshires

Posted by veryspecialjackets on

If you have been to the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show, The American Craft Exposition in Evanston, Ill, The Washington or Westchester Craft Show, or any of the other top shows in the country, then you won’t want to miss The Berkshire Craft Fair, coming to town next week. Many of the same artists are exhibiting here. Small by comparison, it is a fundraiser for a wonderful high school that is not ignoring the arts, and in a community that is steeped in creativity with Tanglewood, Jacobs Pillow, Mass Moca, all in the area. The scale of the show makes for a good relaxed shopping experience before you head out to enjoy the rest of what the area has to offer.  Visit our booth to see Toshiki  and Maryszka shearlings, in the hall by the food court.
