Member Resources
Becoming a Member​
In order to join the Bucks County Guild of Craftsmen, you must also be a member of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen (PGC).
Membership information for the PGC can be found HERE.
A downloadable application can be found HERE.
All PGC members may select one chapter at no additional fee. We invite you to join the PGC, take advantage of the many membership benefits, and to choose the Bucks County Guild as your chapter. You don’t have to live in Bucks County to join the chapter -
we have members in Bucks, Montgomery, Philadelphia, Lehigh counties as well as New Jersey.
​
Chapter Jurying​
Are you ready to apply for Chapter Juried Status? Juried status recognizes artists in the BCGC who exemplify three benchmarks: Excellence in Craftsmanship, Resolved Design and Unique Voice. To achieve this honor, members’ work is juried by a panel of Master Artisans of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen. Applying for Juried Status is an option and not a requirement to be a part of the guild. It is a great accolade to add to your resume!
Our next Chapter Jury session will be held on Wednesday, September 10, 2025 at 6:00 pm, prior to our general meeting. If you have been a chapter member for at least 6 months, are interested in learning more or are ready to apply, please contact Monique Perry, Standards Chair, to get an application and Jury Guidelines. The deadline to apply is August 15, 2025. If you have any questions, contact her directly at monique@moniquesartjewelry.com.

Member Gallery
We offer our Chapter Members the opportunity to have a gallery page (with your own individual url). This is an especially great benefit if you don't have a website, and an effective way to lead potential customers to your website or online shop if you do. Your member page will be set up by one of our website managers for you! If you would like to be a part of our member gallery, HERE is what we need from you to set up your page!
