Sugarloaf Craft Festival returns to Baltimore

 

Sugarloaf Craft Festival
What separates the Sugarloaf Crafts Festival from your, ahem, garden variety craft show is the fact that the artists' work is juried and only the best craftsmen are admitted to the show.

 

Sugarloaf returns to Baltimore's Timonium Fairgrounds this weekend (Friday and Saturday, 10-6. Sunday, 10-5) as part of a tour of cities that continues after more than 30 years.

I still have items I purchased from Sugarloaf in the earliest days of the festival: a hand-painted fireplace screen that resembles a row of townhouses and a very large basket where I keep my blankets!

There will be 250 artists at the show this weekend who have created in all sorts of mediums: functional and decorative pottery, sculpture, glass, furniture, leather, fine art and photography.

There will be demonstrations by the artists as well as live music and childrends activities. Specialty foods will be available to sample and purchase.

Admission is $8 and is good for all three days. Children under 12 are free, and so is the parking.

For more information on the Sugarloaf Festival at Timonium Fairgrounds, including a schedule of events and directions, visit the Web site, where you can purchase discount tickets.

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
