Raffle for the Women’s Studio Workshop
We’re proud to be sponsoring a raffle to benefit the Women’s Studio Workshop which is located a short one mile down the road. Founded in 1974 as a small grassroots collective, WSW has grown into the premier women’s printmaking, papermaking and book arts workspace in the United States. Interestingly, the name on the main window of the Cottekill church (built in 1898), is HJ Hoffman, owner of the Cement Company Merchantile which is the building that now houses WSW.
The raffle is a 50/50 cash raffle with additional prizes donated by Crafted artists. Raffle tickets will be sold at Crafted and if you “like us” on Facebook, you can redeem one free ticket at the sale. Drawing will be Sunday, November 27th at 3pm.
Win all these prizes from our Crafted artists in the WSW Raffle!
Come to the sale to buy tickets: 1 for $3, 4 for $10, 25 for $50 or like us on Facebook and redeem one ticket at the sale
Why Handmade?
Handmade wares create warm connections between skilled makers and caring users. Using goods that are made by hand connects us to the many hands that have crafted our world over centuries. When you hold a handmade bowl, slice on a hand-carved cutting board, snuggle into a hand-knit hat, savor homegrown sauce, or plant locally grown seed, you are connected to the life of each individual artist and to the greater part of human history when almost everything was produced locally. CRAFTED is our way of bringing back a time when craftspeople were integral parts of creating their local culture and economy and were valued for their skills. Choosing handmade says you care about your community and support a world in which independent makers can thrive and practice their craft. Thank you for your part in this!
