Woodcraft Showcase to Highlight Regional Woodcrafters
 |
ADAMS, Mass. — Lever, the North Adams-based economic development group, announced the Woodcraft Showcase, a one-day market featuring the work of regional woodcrafters.
The event will take place on Sunday, Oct. 12, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Greylock Glen Outdoor Center.
The Woodcraft Showcase will bring together artisans from across the region to display and sell handcrafted products ranging from furniture and musical instruments to smaller goods such as wooden spoons, bowls, and cutting boards. The event will coincide with Adams' annual Ramblefest.
Admission to the Showcase is free and open to the public. In addition to artisan displays, the event will feature live demonstrations, stories of regional collaboration, and opportunities to learn more about sustainable wood use in Northwestern Massachusetts. Cruckfather, a local builder, will be on hand to demonstrate timber frame building techniques.
The Woodcraft Showcase is part of Lever's Woodcraft Collaborative of Northwest Massachusetts project, aimed at strengthening the regional economy by advancing the sustainable utilization of locally harvested, processed, and crafted wood products. This project is supported by Massachusetts Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EOEEA), the US Forestry Service, and the Woodlands Partnership of Northwest Massachusetts (WPNM).
