Calling artists and craftsmen

The Festival of American Craft formerly held at Faith Mountain Company in Sperryville has moved to Oldway Craft Village, located on Rt. 211 just west of Sperryville. Space limitations sparked the donation of the festival to Oldway, a new center devoted to demonstrating the old work skills of today’s craftsmen.

The festival is being held Memorial Day weekend (May 28 and 29) and applications are now being accepted from artists and craftspeople. If any artists were overlooked on the original mailing list please contact Oldway Craft village for details at P.O. Box 219, Sperryville, Va. 22740 or by calling (703) 987-8474.
