Annual crafts fair coming up in Great Barrington

GREAT BARRINGTON – For the 40th year, Monument Mountain Regional High School will be transformed into a bazaar of sorts to highlight the work of local artists.

The Berkshire Crafts Fair, which originally started at the school in 1974, will feature work by 89 artists from The Berkshires and across the country who were carefully selected by a jury for the quality and variety of their offerings.

Those offerings include everything from contemporary and traditional jewelry to furniture and textiles to ceramics and glassware.

One artist at this year’s fair is Monterey-based Ellen Grendier, who makes stoneware including bowls, plates, platters, dinnerware, tea service and vases.

“What I like most is making artful tableware that will be used every day – objects that bring the intimacy of the handmade into people’s homes and that encourage us to stop and enjoy the experience of dining,” she said. “The marriage of food and pottery is magical.”

Fair benefits MMRHS

Proceeds from the fair will benefit initiatives and programs at the high school. In previous years, the fair has helped to fund a new playground for the Mountainside Preschool program, a remodel of the MMRHS School Store and programs at the MMRHS Student Center.

The fair was created by MMRHS teachers in the 1970s for the purpose of funding programs like those, and both teachers and students participate in organizing the annual event.

This year’s fair will run Aug. 9-11 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at MMRHS. Admission is $7; children 12 and under get in free. For more information, visit berkshirecraftsfair.org.
