The American Artisan Show

Lovers of American hand-made
work, take heed, the first weekend in November is a weekend you won’t want to miss
in Wilton! The
2013 American Artisan Show will take place at the Wilton Historical Society November
2-3 with a special preview party Friday evening November 1. The Artisan Show will
present 30 of the top artisans in their fields. They come from 10 states and
will be displaying their work in the beautiful Museum complex at 224 Danbury Road, Wilton,
Connecticut.

This is the 28th
year the Historical Society is hosting a fundraiser event, however, it is the
first year the show will be at the Wilton Historical Society. The show
highlights the arts, crafts, and designs which have been part of fine American
work since the eighteenth century. Craftsmen include Heidi Howard, maker and
painter, Hoffman and Woodward furniture, and miniature framed quilts by Kathi
Radcliffe

 The show, celebrating
the Society’s 75th anniversary, will kick off with The 75th
Anniversary Preview Party on Friday, November 1, from 6:30 – 9:30pm. Tickets
for this evening are $75.00 and all attendees will have the first opportunity
to see and purchase goods. There will also be a silent auction along with fine hors d’oeuvre and specialty drinks from the Schoolhouse Restaurant. Each artist has been asked to contribute an
item for the silent auction.  All
proceeds directly benefit The Historical Society and its efforts to preserve Wilton’s History.
