Don’t pass up the chance to give your friends, family, and colleagues holiday gifts that are made close to home – in your very own community. These wonderful and unique gifts that were handmade by local artisans will be available for purchase during the 18th annual By Hand Artisan’s Holiday Gift Show at Ashawagh Hall in East Hampton.
There will be a wide array of handmade gifts, including fused glass, knits and felted wool, skincare, carved wood wildlife, specialty yarn, decoupage, wooden toys, wood surf boards and cutting boards, original jewelry, and much more!
“The By Hand Show has been a venue for local artisans to exhibit and sell their craft for the past 18 years,” remarked Aimee Dallob of Felt Fantastic Knits. “I have participated the last six years, and this year have taken responsibility for organizing the show.”
