Our mission
The Mission of the Sandwich Home Industries is three-fold: to support local artists and the local economy, to provide a welcoming gallery and educational program for area residents and visitors to the Lakes Region; and to collaborate with the League of NH Craftsmen to advance, cultivate, and champion excellence in fine craft.
One Hundred Years of Sandwich Home Industries
By Martha Nichols on the Occasion of the Centennial
It all started with a rug exhibition in February 1926. The Samuel Wentworth Library and the Sandwich Historical Society joined forces to organize a two-week exhibit at the library, inspired by the growing national interest in rural handicrafts. Rug making had long been a practical and creative outlet for rural women, who could use up old clothing and blankets in the process, and city buyers were increasingly eager to purchase such handmade goods.
Classes & Workshops
Sandwich Home Industries is committed to providing quality classes, workshops, and programs to the community and lakes region.
We want anyone who would like to take one of our classes or workshops to be able to do so regardless of their ability to pay. Scholarships are available to all. If you would like to request a scholarship or seek more information about them, please reach out to manager@sandwichhomeindustries.org.
