Peters Valley Craft Center
Celebrating 37 years of excellence in Craft Education...

Our 2007 Craft Fair was held on September 15th & 16th at the
Sussex County Fairgrounds in Augusta, NJ

For the past 37 years, Peters Valley’s main fundraising event has been their annual craft fair.  The Peters Valley Craft Fair hosts over 170 juried artisans, live music, artist demonstrations, community organizations, free kid’s art area and great food.  One can find a myriad of art, which includes jewelry, ceramics, woodworking, basketry, glass, leather, clothing, photography, sculpture and more!  It is a dynamic feast for the senses. The public has the opportunity to view and purchase original art while immersing themselves in the glory of artists at work.

In addition to the craft fair, Peters Valley brings music to Sussex County a Saturday Night Concert. This years guest was the Billy Hector Band and special guests, Big Fun(k!).

This year's Juror was Bennett Bean.

The proceeds from the concert and the craft fair are used to support Peters Valley and its mission to promote artists and the American craft movement.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2007 Peters Valley Annual Craft Fair!
