About Peter Lamb
Peter Lamb continues a lifetime journey of exploring handcraft and its
traditions that build community and define a sense of place. His pursuit has
taken him from being a museum curator, to a working craftsman to a
philanthropic advisor. He sees the power of story and handcraft as a way
for people to discover their own intimate connection to nature and find a
deeper meaning in their community. He likes the Swedish term “Slöjdare” to
describe his handiness with an ever growing range of handcraft materials.
He lives with his wife in Kittery Point, Maine in New England’s Piscataqua
maritime region.
Lamb is the co-creator of the international ‘Wille Sundqvist and Bill
Coperthwaite Slöjd Fellowship’ in partnership with North House Folk
School. He is member of the Maine Crafts Association and a past juried
member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen.
More about Peter from an interview with Mortise and Tenon Magazine, July 2019.
