CHRISTINE PETERS works on a piece of jewelry.
The Maine Crafts Guild, in celebration of American Craft Week, will present the Brunswick Fine Craft Show on Oct. 7 and 8 in Brunswick at the Fort Andross Mill Complex. The American Craft Week event will offer crafts designed and handmade by professional Maine artisans.
The Maine Crafts Guild is a statewide organization, established in 1975. Members are selected through a jury-of-peers process and are comprised of journeymen, nationally recognized masters and founding members who dedicate themselves to excellence in fine craft.

“As I explore the medium of textile painting I am often discovering the balance between abstraction and representation,” Worthington said. “I love the colors, patterns and textures in the landscape and strive to capture its essence as I paint, creating a rich surface. My process of cutting, piecing and stitching adds abstraction, depth and dimension.”
Returning member and jeweler Christine Peters of Damariscotta will exhibit her silver and gold designs.
“I design and create elements and textures which I abstract and simplify the shapes to use over again within a series, playing with different finishes and components for unique looks,” Peters said. “My designs are classic and simple, yet modern and strong. Each piece is created deliberately–intentionally and reinforced through the process of making.”
As a participant in American Craft Week, the Brunswick Fine Craft Show will bring buyers and artists together for unique shopping experiences in wood, metal, clay, natural fibers and glass. Admission is $4 adults; under 18 free; Oct. 7, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Oct. 8, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Fort Andross Mill Complex, 14 Maine St., Brunswick.
