Visitors will be able to see and purchase examples of traditional Pennsylvania German Folk Arts and Crafts, such as Fraktur and Scherenschnitte, as well as engage with artisans demonstrating weaving, pottery, wood carving, metal work, broom and furniture making. In addition, local photographer Les Martzall will also have his photography on display. Make sure to grab a snack from the “Dude with the Dogs” food truck and support our volunteer bake sale during your visit. All admission proceeds from the Artisans Faire will benefit future educational programming at the Ephrata Cloister.
