We Can’t Wait for 2023!
We’d like to thank all who supported the show in its first two years,
and we hope to see you again in 2023.
What Can You Expect to See and Do At the Festival?
The Festival is a 3-day event from Friday through Sunday from 10am-5pm. The beautiful Charles R Wood Park is a short walk to the Village Center and the Million Dollar Beach. Make it a full summer day or weekend enjoying all that Lake George has to offer during this lovely time of year in the Adirondacks.
Entertainment
The festival will have a huge dining tent with tables and chairs and an inside stage where a different local or regional band will perform each day. There is no extra charge for the live music so enjoy it throughout the day and weekend. Also this year we’ll have a local Belly Dance Troupe performing on Saturday and an AMAZING Magician on Sunday.
Featured Artist
Lynne Puhalla of Lynne Puhalla Studios
Lynne Puhalla says she has always had a passion for weaving and basketry. “With degrees in both design and sculpture, I love working and experimenting with the use of form, shape, and texture. Since many of my fellow artist friends are potters, getting my hands into clay was a natural. Eventually, rather than choosing between the two, I decided to pursue both!”
The Base
Slab rolled pottery with leaves imprinted to show the true marvels of nature.
Combined
The result is leaf imprints on functional pottery and unique clay based woven baskets.
The Baskets
Baskets are woven onto the clay bases and embellished with leather, copper, and beads.
Plus Functional
Garden pieces, vases and storage, and tableware.
Featured Artist
Helen and Jim Bellows of Squirrel-Eze
These artists specialize in both artisan jewelry — necklaces, bracelets, earrings, accessories — and textiles — scarves and wristlets. Helen is also a published author. What a diverse artistic duo!
Chain Maille
Jim Bellows explains that Chain Maille is a series of interconnected, woven metal rings. “Once worn by knights as a form of protection, it has been refined and modified to create elegant, classic jewelry. We hand form and cut our rings.”
Silversmithing
Helen Yetman-Bellows explains she creates “signed original designs, one line at a time, combining simple ancient techniques to create intricate, complex results. (No two pieces are exactly the same – expect slight variations).”
Chain Maille Hand Tools
Jim uses special hand tools to create Chain Maille using simple ancient techniques.
Textiles and Writings
Helen also uses a process called sublimation to create wearable art on scarves and wristlets
Partnering with Us again in 2022
Habitat for Humanity
A HUGE thanks goes to HABITAT FOR HUMANITY OF NORTHERN SARATOGA, WARREN AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES! Not only are they building their latest home to help a local family in need, they are partnering with CRAFTPRODUCERS and the LAKE GEORGE ART AND CRAFT FESTIVAL at CHARLES R. WOOD PARK and using it as a fund raising opportunity. In 2021, Aubrey, a single mom of two, was the new owner of a HABITAT FOR HUMANITY home, and she and her family were there all weekend participating with the effort!
Habitat for Humanity’s vision is a world where everyone has a decent place to live. In our local community, one in five families spends at least half their wages on housing. Habitat for Humanity builds decent and affordable homes with families in need. Please stop by their booth at the festival entry gate to get additional information on how YOU can help partner with a great cause!
What People are Saying
Don’t take our word for it – here’s what we’ve been told!
We had a great time at this festival. So many beautiful things and my kids had a blast. We stayed all day and even came back on Saturday.
Lisa
I’ve never been to a craft fair that had so many other things to do. The food, music, and activities were an extra bonus.
Marianne
We have followed Craftproducers shows in Vermont for years. It was a surprise not to have free parking here, but the admission price offset it and the parking fees were not bad at all. It was worth the ride over for sure.
