Dear CraftStudies Students, Volunteers and Teaching Artists,

CraftStudies is delighted to invite you to share something you’ve made with us as part of our upcoming exhibition:

Just the Right Fit: A Celebration of CraftStudies’ 1st Anniversary in White River Junction

This exhibition is a tribute to our community—the students, volunteers and teaching artists—who have transformed our new studios into a hub of learning, making, innovating, and joy over the past year.

Together, we have created comfortable, supportive and inspiring studios that are “just the right fit” for the CraftStudies community.

Who can submit pieces to the exhibition?

Any student, volunteer, or teaching artist who has participated in a class, workshop or camp at CraftStudies in the past year (April 2023-April 2024) may submit a piece to the exhibition.

What kind of pieces are you looking for?

In the past year, did you:

  • Sculpt a mug with a handle that feels like an extension of your hand?

  • Sew a pillow that’s ideal for mid-day naps?

  • Create a ring that slides right onto your finger?

  • Make something else that reflects the theme Just the Right Fit for you?

How many pieces can I submit?

One piece per person, please.

Does the piece have to be made in the past year?

Yes, we ask for submissions of recent work.

What if I made the piece somewhere other than CraftStudies?

That’s AOK. We recognize that we’re often inspired by what we learned in class, but then continue to create in our own spaces. So we welcome pieces that you have created at or are inspired by your participation at CraftStudies, regardless of where you made it.

When do I need to sign up?

The submission form is due May 5, 2024.

How and when do I drop-off my piece to CraftStudies?

We will accept pieces May 18 - 24, 2024. If we are not in the studio to receive your piece, please leave it on the window bench in the Fiber Studio.

Please make sure your piece is labeled with your name, phone number, and email address.

Email Katie if you have any questions.

When can I pick up my piece once the exhibition closes?

You may pick up your piece August 7 - 10, 2024.

Is there a cost for participation?

Nope! We simply ask that you complete the form linked here (or the button above) to sign up to contribute a piece to the exhibition by May 1st, 2024.
