June 2024 – In Memory of Lynn Haust
The League of NH Craftsmen Meredith Fine Craft Gallery will host an exhibit beginning June 1st titled IN MEMORY OF LYNN.
Lynn Haust was a juried member of the League of NH Craftsmen. Originally juried in 2016, she created beautiful fused glass pieces. Window art, table-top ‘waves’, jewelry, and her super popular night lights. Lynn’s work was colorful, joyful and made people happy just to look at it.
Along with creating beautiful glass for sale she also taught her craft to many students over the years. Here at the Meredith League of NH Craftsmen Gallery she was an all time favorite.
Last July we lost Lynn after a long and valiant battle with cancer. Throughout her illness she taught, she created, and she rode her beautiful horses.
Lynn requested that donations be made in her name to Gerda’s Equine Rescue in West Townshend Vt. In that effort we are hosting an exhibit that will feature fine craft created with horses as the theme. This exhibit pays homage to Lynn’s passion for equine beauty and her enduring love of horses.
Work submitted by various artists in all mediums will be featured. 10% of sales from the exhibit will be donated to Gerda’s Equine Rescue, a non profit organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming horses in need. Haust’s legacy of compassion and advocacy for equine welfare lives on through this charitable initiative, which aims to make a meaningful difference in the lives of horses in distress. By supporting this exhibition we not only honor Lynn Haust’s artistic legacy but also contribute to a noble cause that embodies her spirit of kindness and empathy.
IN MEMORY OF LYNN will exhibit June 1 through 30th.

April 2024 – Cherry Blossoms
Despite a late season snowstorm, we are looking forward to the promise of spring with Cherry Blossoms, a collection of cherry blossom decorated pottery by league juried artist Georgia Donnelly. Celebrate the beauty of spring with this exquisite cherry blossom themed pottery, showcasing a beautiful fusion of delicate craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Donnelly’s creations effortlessly capture the essence of the renewal of Spring, with delicate cherry blossoms in bloom over beautifully handcrafted pottery pieces. Each piece is a testament to Donnelly’s mastery of the art form, evoking a sense of tranquility and reverence for nature’s fleeting beauty.
Georgia Donnelly is a studio potter living and working in New Hampshire. After apprenticing under a Master Potter in Livingston NJ, she studied pottery in southern France and then became a production potter for 2 different commercial pottery studios in New England. She has taught ceramics and pottery at elementary schools, art centers and universities. She has been working with clay since 1996.
“I like to make functional pottery that accentuates the way the piece is made on the wheel, highlighting the movement that the clay goes through to get to its finished shape. I want my pieces to catch your attention and stand out. I try to make them interesting to the touch as well as the eye.”
Cherry Blossoms will be on view now through the end of April.
