ABOUT US

In July 2024 Loretta & Bill Stride became the new owners of the League of NH Craftsmen Littleton Gallery.
Beth Simon who has been nurturing the gallery since 2004 beginning as co-manager and in 2014 becoming owner has decided to retire.

The gallery will continue to offer you the best in handmade fine craft and customer service.

We especially value the relationships we have developed with League juried artists over the years, making studio visits to select work for the gallery and to understand the breadth and depth of the artists’ work. We are a well curated fine craft gallery  and help our customers find just the right gift or continue to develop their own collection of fine craft for their home or the outstanding selection of wearables.

Feel free to contact us at the gallery by email [email protected]

The Legacy of the League of NH Craftsmen:

The League’s roots trace back to the 1920s, when Mary Coolidge and A. Cooper Ballentine began working to promote craft in New Hampshire. By 1932, the League of New Hampshire Arts and Crafts was officially formed, with its first shop opening in Wolfeboro. The inaugural Craftsmen’s Fair followed in 1933, now known as the oldest craft fair in the nation.

Renamed the League of NH Craftsmen in 1968, it has grown into one of the leading fine craft organizations in the U.S., known nationally and internationally for showcasing exceptional handmade work defined by creativity, skill, and authenticity.

 

Mission:
To advance, cultivate, and champion excellence in fine craft through education, leadership, marketing, and support.

Vision:

• Craft is seen as meaningful and relevant in daily and community life.

• Makers are inspired, supported, and celebrated.

• The League is recognized as a leading voice for fine craft in New England and beyond.
