The Craftworkers’ Guild Spring&nbsp;Shop Celebrating 100 Years of&nbsp;Craftsmanship, Community and Creativity
The Craftworkers’ Guild is proud to continue the celebration of our 100th anniversary year with the Spring Shop. The shop will be open 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, Thursdays to Sundays from April 30th through May 24th. Our shop is located at the historic Kendall House, 3A Meetinghouse Road in Bedford, behind the Bedford Library.
Now in our centennial year, the Guild continues to honor a century-long commitment to excellence in fine craftsmanship. This year’s Spring Shop features the work of over 40 local Guild member artisans and craftspeople, showcasing a rich variety of handmade goods — from timeless New England traditions to fresh, modern designs.
“Reaching this 100-year milestone fills us with gratitude for the generations of crafters who shaped our Guild, and it inspires is to share a collection that honors that legacy while embracing new creative directions,” says Carol Davis, President of the Craftworkers’ Guild. “Each shop brings its own burst of imagination, and this year’s shop carries a special weight as we celebrate a century of handcrafted artistry.”
Shoppers will find a curated selection of locally made, juried crafts, with something for everyone — from Mother’s Day gifts to graduation and wedding presents — including seasonal décor, photography, fine art and prints, cards, woodworking, textiles, pottery, fiber arts, sewn and knitted items, soap and body care, gourmet goodies, candles, jewelry, glass, and more. Many items are one-of-a-kind, perfect for gifts or treating yourself.
Proceeds help support the Guild’s ongoing arts education initiatives in the community, continuing our mission to inspire creativity for the next generation of artists and makers.

The Craftworkers’ Guild Spring Shop — Last Weekend!

Join us for our third annual plant sale and marketplace with proceeds benefitting the gardens at Community Hospice House in Merrimack, NH. The gardens are entirely supported and funded by a dedicated team of volunteers from throughout the community. We are planning a tremendous event with over 150 varieties of exceptional native plants and non-natives that support our local wildlife. 
This includes many species that are indigenous to our area of New Hampshire which means they are extremely valuable for the successful reproduction of our native butterflies and moths. Our plants are New Hampshire grown and will be sold below retail price.
Our marketplace will include the ever popular moss terrariums, handmade quilts, decoupage shells, jewelry, and beautiful handmade cards by Deb Wiseman Photography. We will also have an assortment of garden tools and garden-themed items. Tell your friends!

Remember what happened to people who didn't learn computers?
We’re in that moment with AI. Right now. Most people tried it once, got something weird, and walked away. That doesn't mean AI doesn't work. It means nobody showed them how to use it well.
Join us for a free Introduction to Artificial Intelligence at C1M Academy in Amherst. Ninety minutes. No jargon. No sci-fi. Just a clear look at what AI actually does and how regular people are using it every day.
Small class. Real questions welcome. The ones you think are "too basic" are the best ones.
Free. In person. Limited spots.

Injured in NH? 22 Years Fighting for You. Free Consult. 

Apis Law | Personal Injury Attorney

Attorney Keith F. Diaz founded Apis Law, PLLC to fight for injured people across New Hampshire. With 22 years of legal experience, Attorney Diaz represents individuals and families who suffer injuries due to someone else's negligence — and he works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless he wins your case. Our practice handles car accidents, truck and motorcycle crashes, slip-and-fall injuries, dog bites, wrongful death, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, pedestrian and bicycle accidents, and workplace injuries. We also take on employment law matters including wrongful termination, workplace discrimination, and sexual harassment. Attorney Diaz holds admission to practice in the State of New Hampshire (Bar No. 15831), the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire, and the First Circuit Court of Appeals. He founded Apis Law in 2022 because he believes injured people in New Hampshire deserved an attorney who will fight for them with the same resources and intensity that insurance companies bring to the other side. From two offices in Goffstown and Bedford, Apis Law serves clients throughout southern New Hampshire including Concord, Manchester, Nashua, Amherst, Hooksett, and surrounding communities. When you get hurt, the insurance company assigns a team to minimize your payout. Apis Law fights back. Call (603) 785-1013 for a free consultation.
