2nd Annual #I{Craft}History Festival

How do YOU craft history?

Two-day event celebrates craft with artisans, exhibits, music, food, and festivities!

Plimoth Plantation's two-day #i{craft}history festival features the best of New England craft, old and new. Stroll through the artisan market in the Henry Hornblower II Visitor Center courtyard and find that one-of-a-kind item hand-crafted by our featured artisans. Visit with the guest makers, inspired by Plimoth Plantation's time and place, as they demonstrate their unique interpretations of traditional 17th-century English and Native crafts.

At the heart of the event are Plimoth Plantation’s core of talented artisans. Their work is vital to the recreation of the authentic look and feel of the 17th-century worlds of Plimoth and Wampanoag Patuxet. Native artisans make stone, wood and sinew tools, porcupine hair headdresses and hand-coiled clay pots. Other Plimoth Plantation artisans practice historical English trades, and reproduce the objects that the Pilgrims imported from England, such as earthenware pottery, furniture, candles and textiles.

Additional programming such as a farmers’ market and music will be featured at the event. Learn more at: www.icrafthistory.org.

Adult Education Workshop: “Backyard Barnyard (Goats)”

"Note- this is a two part workshop series. Part One is September 29 from 7-9pm, and Part Two is October 3 from 7-9pm*

In this two-part workshop, you’ll learn all the basics about keeping goats as productive pets, from choosing the right breed to obtaining your goats and how to keep them healthy, safe, and productive. If you’ve considered keeping goats but weren’t sure where to begin, join us to find out all the basics about the noble goat!

Backyard Barnyard (Goats): $60 for members, $75 for non-members

What is your why, what was it and what will it be?
At this workshop I will give my usual raw, tough love approach to what I believe works. What you will walk away with is inspiration to take your branding to the next level, tweak what you’ve got, or stand proudly in the value you already bring. Wouldn’t it be nice to... More >>
