Mont Vernon Artisans planning annual show and sale

Mont Vernon Artisans will host their sixth annual Show and Sale featuring art and fine crafts.

Meet 20 artists and artisans and view their work in glass, silver, photography, textiles, beads, pottery, oils, acrylics, watercolor, woodturning and more. Get a jump on holiday shopping and enter to win a basket of handcrafted gifts. This stop on the New Hampshire Open Doors tour is held in collaboration with the League of NH Craftsmen and NH Made.

The Mont Vernon Artisans are artists and makers of fine craft, amateur and professional, who are residents of Mont Vernon and are engaged in supporting and learning from each other.

These Mont Vernon Artisans will showcase their art or craft: Mike Amadeo, woodworker and beadmaker; Anita Carroll, glass beads, photography and graphic design; Sheila Clegg, handcrafted silver jewelry; Tony Immorlica, turned objects; Lyn Jennings, baked goods and cheeses; Kyeong Kim, jewelry and photography; JoAnn Kitchel, illustrator; Doug Kolb, hand-sculpted jewelry; Michelle Kolb, fine silver jewelry; Sarah Lawrence, creative calligraphy; Cheryl Miller, fabric collages and paintings; Hazel Milligan, paintings on canvas and wood; Karen Mitchell, fine silver jewelry; Jane Nilles, video, vignettes and design; Roxanne O’Brien, watercolor and oil; Paula Pestana, acrylic and watercolor; Earle Rich, wood-turned objects; Susanna Ries, stained glass; Amanda Wassell, handmade accessories; and Nina Zotcavage, contemporary jewelry.

All Mont Vernon residents at any stage of their practice are welcome to join Mont Vernon Artisans. The group hosts events that give members an opportunity to show and sell their work, such as the sixth annual Veterans Day weekend event. The artisans also display their crafts at the town’s Spring Gala in mid-May and participate in events that support other town organizations to celebrate the presence of art and fine craft in the community. The Mont Vernon Artisans and the Friends of the Mont Vernon Daland Memorial Library recently collaborated in a fundraiser for which the artisans painted chairs and stools based on favorite children’s books, the library hosted an ice cream social, and the event culminated in a successful auction.
