 The Bucks County Guild of Craftsmen 


The Bucks County Guild of Craftsmen, Inc
. is a local chapter of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen (PGC). The Bucks Guild was organized about 1950 when a small group of persons came together for the purpose of preserving craft skills and to reawaken interest in the practice of handcrafts.  The Bucks County Guild affiliated with the PGC as a local chapter in 1952. 

 

The purpose of the Bucks County Guild of Craftsmen is to stimulate interest in crafts and appreciation of the work of craftsmen. The Guild upholds and maintains standards of excellence in design and workmanship, assists members in marketing high quality crafts and provides a forum for exchange of ideas and information through its meetings and programs.

 

Membership is open to anyone interested in crafts whether or not you are an active craftsperson.   According to state bylaws, everyone who joins the Bucks chapter must also become members of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen.   Application for membership in the PGC and The Bucks County Guild of Craftsmen can be found by clicking here.

 

The Bucks Guild is an all volunteer organization and its activities would be impossible without those members who become involved and contribute their skills.  New members are encouraged to become active.   Our newsletter, The Buckskin, is printed and mailed to all members every month except July.  Through the Standards process an opportunity is given for members to jury their craft, thus recognizing outstanding craftsmanship, design and creativity.

 

Meetings are held at 7::30 p.m. on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, September through May, in the meeting room, District Office, Boy Scouts of America, 1 Scout Way, Doylestown, P A, (across the street from the Mercer Museum). The June meeting is customarily a family picnic and no meetings are held during July and August. Any interested person is welcome to attend a meeting.
