BerkshireMadeOpenHouse_flyer_colorThis weekend, rock out handmade-style!
Here’s your opportunity to act on that “buy local” resolution you made to yourself, or to start one!

There’ll be all kinds of local art and craft, including jewelry, woodworking, handbags, fiber arts, ceramics, stationery, fine art and more! It’s also a great time to learn more about BerkshireMade! (and I’ll be there!)

It’s all at the BerkshireMade Artisan Market and Open House

Artisan Market: Saturday and Sunday July 18th & 19th, 10:00am-4:00pm

Open House: Saturday, July 18th,  4:00pm-6:00pm; For artisans interested in becoming a member and businesses interested in partnering with BerkshireMade. Free Snacks!

Both events are free and open to the public will be held at the Howard Building at the corner of First and Fenn Streets in Pittsfield, MA.

BerkshireMade is a cooperative effort by a select group of Berkshire artisans to promote their high quality, locally made creative work.  BerkshireMade’s goal is to promote a shift in the shopping paradigm, so Berkshire consumers seek to purchase local goods created by local artisans, in the Berkshires or on the Internet; Buy Local, Buy Handmade!
