Crafts in NH — The Hippo — 11/02/23

It’s craft fair season, with opportunities to find unique items pretty much every weekend between now and Christmas. In this week’s cover story, we talk to some of the artisans who have taken their artistic interests to all sorts of cool places. And we give you a list of upcoming fairs where you can find crafts of all sorts.

Also on the cover Concord gets a new art gallery (page 16), Manchester gets a new restaurant (page 28) and Nashua gets the Cowboy Junkies (page 38).
