The best of American…with emphasis on Pennsylvanian… craftsmanship and artistry can be found in the historic setting of a converted brick church built in 1875. More than two hundred craft and fine artists whose work ranges from pottery, jewelry, decoys,  shaker boxes,copper enameling, scherenschnitte, turned wood, original art work, glass and wrought iron to handwoven and hand painted clothing and acessories are associated with the gallery. One of those crafswomen, Gay Foltz, has her woodcarving studio in the gallery where the public can watch her create her fanciful folk-art carvings.
