The Tour is Coming!

Join us for the 11th Annual Walpole Artisan Tour on November 29th - December 1st from 10am - 5pm.

There are some new artisans this year as well as some returning favorites.  Enjoy shopping for the holidays, meeting the artisans, viewing demonstrations and even having a few snacks along the way.  Pick up a map at the starting point:  The Walpole Artisans Cooperative Gallery at 52 Main Street in Walpole (right across from Burdick's Chocolate).  Hope to see you there!

Mark your calendars for this one...it's going to be fun!

Art from the Heart Redux

The Walpole Artisans are having a Customer Appreciation Day on Thursday, February 14th.  We will be offering sweet treats so stop in and say hello and see what's new.

We would like to welcome a new artist to our group.  Randy Hicks from Walpole makes beautiful chip carved plates and clocks.  His designs will make you swoon!

And we are eternally optimistic here at the Gallery...check out some jewelry for Spring!
