Handmade gifts, fresh-baked treats, and a peek behind the scenes await visitors at the Folk Art Guild’s Holiday Open Studio Sale in Middlesex next month.
The annual event returns December 13 and 14 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., offering a festive, family-friendly atmosphere on the Guild’s working farm in the hills above Canandaigua Lake.
Shoppers can browse handcrafted pottery, woodworking, weaving, clothing, toys, cards, and more—each item created by resident artisans. Visitors are invited into the studios to meet the makers, explore their process, and share feedback on new work.
Guild member David Barnet says the event is one of the most meaningful weekends of the year for the artists.
Alongside the crafts, the open house will feature holiday baked goods and hands-on activities for all ages. It’s a chance to support local makers and soak in the creativity of one of the region’s longest-running artisan communities.
The Folk Art Guild is located in Middlesex, New York. For directions and more information, visit folkartguild.org.
