The First 2011 Boston Handmade Show: West Medford Open Studios

by Sharon Fischer, Stray Notions

Show season is upon us again. Many handmade artisans take a little break from shows after the winter holiday season. And by break I mean we catch our breath a bit, check to see that our families and friends are still there and then start again with the planning and the making (Spring and summer show applications start showing up in February or so).

On Saturday April 30 and Sunday May 1, from noon to 5 pm, four Boston Handmade members, Stray Notions, Fraske Designs, City by the Sea Ceramics and Cozy Cottage Creations, will participate as a group in the West Medford Open Studios along with more than 60 other visual and performing artists. You can check out all of the artists and download a PDF map to create you own walking tour - - be sure to look for Boston Handmade on the map at 56 Bower Street. Hope to see you there!
