About the HGC

 

The Haverford Guild of Craftsmen was chartered in August 2009 as the 16th local chapter of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen. The Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen, headquartered in Lancaster, PA was founded in 1942 and is among the oldest professional craft guilds in the country.

 

Twelve talented artists, primarily from Haverford Township, comprised our charter membership. Now, nine years later, our membership has climbed to over 100 fine crafts people spanning many disciplines including basketry, jewelry, ceramics, clothing, handbags, fiber, painting, art dolls, glass, woodworking,and photography.

 

Haverford Township is located in the heart of the Philadelphia Main Line approximately 10 miles west of center city Philadelphia, PA.
