A fine craft exhibition presented by the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen offers a new perspective on the simple geometric shapes that we see in everyday life. Circles, Squares & Triangles: The Shape of Things to Come is a multi-media exhibition of the work of 63 master craftsmen – all juried members of the League – that explores the simple and complex shapes formed along the boundaries of imagination. Among the 63 is Gillian Smith of Andover.

The exhibition features handcrafted jewelry, wood, fiber, clay, photography, metal, glass, calligraphy, prints, and mixed media that depict various lines, shapes, and colors. Some of the fine craft on display include: a handmade quilt that illustrates New England’s springtime light through the placement of squares, rectangles and small circles; a detailed model of a stucco house that looks like it is blowing in the wind, taking on a whimsical new shape; a fabric necklace with round beads that represent buttons. Most of the items in the exhibition are available for purchase.

The exhibition runs until Friday, September 26, at The Gallery at The Craft Center. All the fine craft items on display are available for purchase, so visitors can appreciate and purchase the work made by juried members of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen.

The Gallery is located at 49 South Main Street, Suite 100, in Concord and is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM (Thursdays until 7 PM), and Saturday, 10 AM to  4 PM.

The League also displays a new selection of fine craft from its more than 300-lot permanent collection at the Grodin Permanent Collection Museum at the League headquarters. This collection includes craft from the League’s early years to the present, including pieces made by some of the world’s renowned craftspeople, such as Otto and Vivika Heino and Edwin and Mary Scheier.

The museum provides fascinating insights into the evolution of fine craft and should not be missed. Admission to the museum is free.
