WINTERTHUR, DE (July 11, 2024) – Spend a summer day or an entire weekend exploring Winterthur while shopping for unique, artisan-made crafts and gifts during the fourth annual Artisan Market, taking place July 19-21.
This year’s market will showcase some of the region’s most talented artisans, offering an array of outstanding wares. These include antiques and collectibles, furniture and home décor, architectural salvage, high-quality handmade crafts, vintage clothing and jewelry, artisanal and small-batch gourmet goods, original art in various media, garden items, and more.
“Artisan Market has become a popular and lively event,” said Chris Strand, the Charles F. Montgomery Director and CEO at Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library. “It’s not only a wonderful way to spend a day, but it also supports our mission to educate audiences about American material culture, art, and design. Many of the artisans create high-quality crafts related to art, textiles, ceramics, glass, woodworking, antiques, and gardening. Each of these categories connects to Winterthur’s past.”
