The Vermont Hand Crafters host their Annual Holiday Craft Show at the Sheraton Conference Center in South Burlington in the middle of November. (Thursday and Friday show hours are from 10 Am - 8 PM, Saturday, 10 AM-6 PM and Sunday 10 Am-5 PM).

Over one hundred and seventy five juried Vermont artisans, including at least a dozen new members, are on hand to sell their high quality handmade baskets, fabric appliqué pillows and quilts, lampshades, pottery, dolls, note cards, clothing and accessories, fine, gemstone, titanium, silver and polymer clay jewelry, dried arrangements, furniture, photographs, and much more.

VHC’s newest members include; Ulrike Tessmer of Waitsfield, an European trained potter, creates fine quality stoneware place settings, lamp bases, oil lamps, plant pots and candle sticks featuring simple designs and richly textured glazes on beautifully rounded pieces; Patty Foltz of Stowe who produces Vermont Harvest specialty foods which include jams, jellies, chutneys and conserves with tantalizing names like Strawberry Amaretto Conserve, Banana Berry Jam, Pumpkin Butter and Apple Rum Walnut Conserve.
