Home of the Artisans Guild

The Artisans Guild, The Eastern Shore of Virginia, encourages its artisan members to further their development and encourages and promotes the work of its members by providing marketing opportunities. Through the Candy Aeschliman Fund, the Artisans Guild actively supports and promotes the goal of encouraging creativity within the entire Eastern Shore community.

Through  the Open Studio Tour, held each November and other member opportunities,  the membership offers a wonderful display of a wide variety of fine art, wood crafting, carvings, stonework, floorcloths, jewelry, hand-formed earthenware, furniture, functional and ornamental glassware, and much, much more.  The 2007 Annual Tour included stops at two local Vineyards.  Members can download an application form for the 2008 tour.

The Guild uses this website to promote the activities of the Guild, support its members by providing another avenue to display their fine creations, and to share our mission and purpose with the community.
