Make stuff, meet people

On the cover

Make stuff, meet people — that’s the prospect of craft classes and gatherings that help you take a break from the digital world and help you work with your hands, often with other makers. Zachary Lewis finds out about area craft workshops in this week’s cover story, which also features a listing of the season’s many, many upcoming craft fairs. Do you know of a fair not listed here? Let us know at adiaz@hippopress.com. The above photo is courtesy of the New Hampshire Craft Club.

Also on the cover John Fladd helps you navigate the Route 3 Art Trail (page 14). John talks to the folks at Holy Trinity in Manchester about their annual Polish food sale (page 16). Michael Witthaus talks to Adrian Belew about his band BEAT and their Hampton show playing the music of King Crimson (page 23).
