Open House & Member Sale at Brookfield Craft Center Gives The Community a View into Classes and Artists

The Brookfield Craft Center’s 7 studios will be open for demonstrations, including the expanded Blacksmith Forge and refurbished Pottery Studio, showcase learning opportunities and commitment to fine crafts in Brookfield.

On October 13, 2018 from 12-5 pm, art enthusiasts can visit northwestern Connecticut’s historic Brookfield Craft Center (BCC) to explore over a dozen fine crafts and meet artists on the faculty.  From jewelry-making, fiber arts and woodturning to the newly refurbished pottery studio, visitors can view demonstrations of crafting techniques, learn about upcoming programs and classes, and visit and shop for handcrafted works in the gallery shop.

“Our open house is a great opportunity for the community to see how enjoyable and accessible our programs are here at the Center,” said Howard Lasser, Executive Director of the BCC.  “With a talented faculty of over two dozen instructor artists and a continuously changing lineup of learning opportunities, we have something for everyone.”

The award winning artists at the BCC look forward to sharing their skills and details of programs directly with prospective students.  “There are so many learning opportunities here at the Center,” said blacksmith teacher Chris Doherty. “Open House is a fun opportunity for us to demonstrate what students can learn and experience, and answer questions about the types of things we cover.  There’s a class for everyone!”
