Brookfield Craft Center Hosts Open House October 15th

Have you ever wondered how a blacksmith forms a hook, how a jewelry artist moves metal create sculptures or how a potter creates a bowl? Brookfield Craft Center will host a community open house on Saturday, October 15th from noon to 5 pm on their campus located at 286 Whisconier Road. This event is free and open to the public and will feature demonstrations conducted by talented faculty artists working in the areas of blacksmithing, jewelry making, glass arts, ceramics, weaving and fiber arts, woodturning and more.

All seven teaching studios on BCC’s beautiful 2.5 acre campus will be open for view. For those who want to get creative, a hands-on silk scarf painting activity will be hosted in the fiber studio. For a small materials fee of $15, each participant will take home a one-of-a-kind scarf they created.

The gallery store, home to the work of over 150 fine craft artisans, will be open for shopping. All sales that day will be tax-free and Members will receive an additional 10% off. Registration for beginning to advanced-level fall and winter classes will also be available.
