Artisans and Craftspeople

Are you an artisan, skilled craftsperson, builder, or maker focused on traditional handwork? 

Join the 2019 Early American Artisans Fair in Millersburg, OH on November 1 and 2.
The Artisans Guild in Millersburg, OH is expanding its network of practicing artisans and craftspeople whose work is predominantly based on traditional hand skill techniques. We want to help you bring your work to a larger audience and we want you to help us document and preserve traditional hand skills so they might thrive again in our communities. Share your work, your craft, your experience through writing, photo, or video. We want people to see not just what you’re capable of, but we want why handcraft still matters.
​

We invite you to help us educate by sharing your work, your experience, and even your moments of mistake through our blog. By connecting your work with audiences of new and established craftspeople and consumers looking for an alternative to industrialized production, we hope to elevate the conversation about why everyday objects influenced by traditional craft and design still matter. 
We invite you to help us educate by sharing your work, your experience, and even your moments of mistake through our online platform.

What We're Looking For

​Short format writing, photo, or video that explores the following:
  • Focused technique and process
  • Concise overview of a specific operation, useful and actionable to readers
  • What you’re working on and why it matters
  • Philosophical thoughts on handwork
  • Humility in thought and deed
  • Honest moments of mistake
    • It’s human, it’s humbling, it’s part of the process
    • How did you overcome it?
  • Academic or archeological topics in traditional handwork 

What to Avoid

  • Simple show-and-tell
  • Marketing fluff
  • Third-party narration
  • Writing that doesn’t know its purpose
