About our organization. . .
The Cumberland Valley Craftsmen and its parent organization, the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen, were organized to promote quality crafts in Pennsylvania. Since 1973 the members of the CVC have been dedicated to improving the quality of crafts taught, produced, and sold in the Cumberland Valley and throughout Pennsylvania. We are an organization of dedicated, skilled craftspeople working in a variety of media. We encourage creativity in design and use of materials and uphold standards of excellence in design and technique. Participating members are chosen by a jurying process and must meet specified standards of excellence in technique, design, originality, and style. We sponsor several annual events during which we invite you to meet our members, see us at work, learn about our unique and beautiful craft work and perhaps purchase something handcrafted to take home with you. These events include the Studio Tour, held in early May at various studios throughout the Cumberland Valley, and a Holiday Open House tour. We also participate in the annual Chamberfest held in July in downtown Chambersburg, PA. Other events are scheduled throughout the year. These events present fine handcrafted products by craftsmen from the Cumberland Valley and throughout Pennsylvania and the surrounding region.
