Martha Nichols writes: On Saturday, May 20th, the Sandwich Home Industries opens its doors for our 91st season with fine NH made crafts and a full slate of arts and crafts classes for adults and children.
This year is one of transition for the “Home Industries”, as locals call it. We say goodbye to gallery manager, Julie Deak, who has provided dedicated expertise for nine years and we welcome incoming manager, Martha Nichols. The board of directors and staff have been busy sprucing up the shop with a fresh look, painting inside and out, and making plans for a summer of sharing this historical resource in our community.
The new look continues with our recently redesigned website - easy to use on your computer or your phone. Here you will find complete information about our shop, craftspeople, and classes. Please check us out on www.centersandwich.nhcrafts.org.

Sandwich Home Industries is the birthplace of the League of NH Craftsmen, and our mission is to inspire and educate the broader community as well as to preserve traditional and contemporary craft. This season, we have a wide selection of classes scheduled June through August. In June, we start with a 5-day weaving intensive by Sara Goodman. In July and August, a variety of children’s classes includes felting, clay, collage, drawing, and making garden stakes. Adult and teen classes are offered in fabric dyeing, knitting, felting, watercolors, kiln fired glass and jewelry making. Our website has more details and you may call or email for registration information.
Stop by to see our wide selection of fine handcrafted items. From May 20th through mid-October, we are open Monday through Saturday 1-5 and Sunday 12-5. Also, please join us for our OPENING CELEBRATION on May 28th, 1-4 for demos and free mini classes. Please contact 284-6831, email [email protected], or visit www.centersandwich.nhcrafts.org
