All are welcome to our annual meeting! Details to follow.

Bob and Ryan Cottrell will demonstrate the Traditional Arts of snowshoe and dog sled building.

We are happy to have the “Madison Warped Weavers” again at the History Center, demonstrating the traditional art of spinning wool.

Will Robinson will demonstrate the fine country art of spoon carving, as well as show his fascinating collection of “treen-ware”, or historical wooden ware, all found in New Hampshire. This includes a rare chance to see a pair of colonial era wooden tankards.

Jo Goodwin will demonstrate the art of hooked rugs.

Rug hooking was traditionally a way to warm floors using worn out clothing and blankets cut into strips and looped through burlap sacking to create floor matts. We now have cutters and use stronger backing materials to extend the life of each piece, though the process has not changed in hundreds of years.

She has been hooking and designing unique and traditional rugs for 20 years. She belongs to the "Mainely Woods"  hooking group. She prefers to use hand spot dyed wools by Linda Spear, which give a very rich look to finished pieces. She will bring wool, a cutter, backing, hooks, frames and let others have a try at this technique.

Postponed. Date TBA.

Jim Shea will demonstrate making small baskets from locally foraged plant material. Cattail, Iris, daylily, willow bark and more.

 He will have some extra material on hand for others to join in the fun ! 

Story teller Marion Posner will talk about her art, and lead a workshop in storytelling. Just in time for our community story share at our annual picnic!

Join local Dowser Danny Wason as he practices this ancient art on the History Center lawn. Dowsers most commonly use branches and metal rods to find water and other things underground.

Cara Sutherland will demonstrate making a “Lightship Basket” - a traditional basket style from Nantucket.

The old cars are back on the History Center lawn!

Betty Parker will demonstrate the traditional art of braiding rugs from pieces of fabric.

Alice Posner will demonstrate some traditional ways of making home remedies, using local plants, many that are growing right here in Tamworth!
