2025 Chapter Meetings
Lancaster Designer Craftsmen (LDC) Chapter meetings are open to all LDC Chapter members and you are always welcome to bring a guest. We encourage you to attend!
Chapter meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month throughout the year at the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen (PGC – our umbrella organization) offices at 335 N. Queen Street (second floor) in Lancaster at 7:00 p.m. If you cannot be present, you can attend the meetings via zoom (although you will not be able to participate in the“make and take” events).
The dates for these meetings are listed below (subject to change).
Chapter meetings include educational/informational presentations, demonstrations, “make and take” activities along with other social activities such as a fall pizza party and a December holiday party. Meetings also provide an opportunity for you to share your current work, have your work critiqued, and to network with other craftspeople. As a member you will receive regular newsletters to keep you informed about current events.
