Artisans at Work
WATERTIGHT WOODEN BARRELS, symmetrical Shaker boxes, and graceful Windsor chairs. Wildfowl decoys carved with precision, original wood cuts rolling off an 18th-century press, and iron crafted by a blacksmith over the fire. Don’t miss the Artisan Tent at the Heritage Festival, where artisans are hard at work–and traditions of the past are very much alive. http://www.heritage-festival.org/index.php/program/artisans/
