🥰Thank you to everyone who helped make this year's Makers on the Mount cruise aboard the M/S Mount Washington such a memorable success!

We are deeply grateful to all who attended, supported, sponsored, and championed this special event. 💗A heartfelt thank you goes to our creative and dedicated juried members, whose talent, generosity, and willingness to share their stories brought the event to life. We are also grateful to the New Hampshire Furniture Masters and the outstanding team aboard the Mount Washington for helping create an unforgettable experience.

🌟🙌 Together, we raised more than $5,000 to support the future of craft and the League's mission of sustaining excellence in fine craft across New Hampshire. Beyond the funds raised, the day provided an opportunity to connect new audiences with the artistry, passion, and craftsmanship that make our creative community so special.

Events like this are a reminder that the future of craft is built through collaboration, community, and the collective support of people who believe in the value of handmade work.

Opening Thursday, June 11, 5–7pm, "Legacy of the League: A Timeline of Craft," features craft from our Permanent Collection from the 1930's through the present day, alongside select photographs of our craftsmen and the Annual Craftsmen's Fair from our archives. As the United States celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in 2026, this exhibition is the beginning of the League's preparations for its own centennial celebrations in 2032.

Many thanks to Catherine Green who served as guest curator for this exhibition, and the Permanent Collection Museum Committee who steward the collected works of League makers year after year. We are excited to share this glimpse into the past and present of craft in New Hampshire!
