“About a half dozen (of the artisans are) new,” said Porchwalk organizer Gretchen Smith, who is also one of up to 40 artists who will take part in the 20th annual Lititz Artisans’ Porchwalk, a free event that will be held rain or shine in several locations in historic Lititz on Friday, Sept. 28, and Saturday, Sept. 29. Visitors to the six properties where items will be on display may peruse the offerings from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day of the event.
Smith, who makes jewelry, noted that organizers avoid having duplicate types of art at each location so that each home is like an art show unto itself. New artisans this year will include Kim Bleacher, who creates unique interior and exterior metal décor, and Vickie Geiman, who will display decorative painting and multimedia art. New artist Jenn Avery will showcase crafted gourds, and Elizabeth Gates, also a first-time exhibitor, will offer journals, boxes, and papers for sale. See Porchwalk pg 4
