Summertime celebration of crafts GRAND BEND - Due to its success with summer cottagers and visiting tourists in its first-time offering last year, the Lambton Her- itage Museum has scheduled its popular Summertime Craft Sale for Sunday July 16 1995, from 10 to 5 pm. Almost 2000 visitors took in the show last year, many using the show as an opportunity to invite weekend guests, friends or relatives from out of town to take in the unique shopping. Part of the popularity of the show is due to the fact that the artisans are all 'pre-screened' by museum event organizer Gwen Watson, to ensure maximum quality and diversity. There is already a waiting list to get into the show", commented Mrs. Wat- son. • The local celebration of arts and craft handiwork offers stained glass, country decorating accessories, woodcrafts, designer clothing, ornamental iron, summer jewellery, porcelain dolls, collectable dolls and bears, ceramics and basketry. More traditional, heritage -based crafts are also represented, such as pencil drawings, pottery, and fol - kart. Over 60 artisans will be congregating on the museum site for the one -day show. Vendors come from across Lambton County, and indeed from all over Ontario to participate in the event. Many of these artisans also participate in the large regional colour & craft event co-ordinated by the museum for the weekend following Thanksgiving every year, and is set to fall on October 14th and 15th in 1995. Over 7000 vis- itors took in that event last year. After the museum sale, visitors are encouraged to tour the seven open studios of the Sand Country Artisans, in Port Franks. Here the talented owners offer demonstrations and personal explanations about their chosen media and style in pottery, acrylic paints, fabric arts, twig furniture, and paper tole. The studios are well marked, and a free route map will be available at the museum during the craft sale. The Lambton Heritage Museum is located on Highway 21, 8 km. south of Grand Bend, directly across from the Pinery Provincial Park. Regular museum admission rates apply for the sale day.
