Brick House Arts: Where Craft Meets Community

Nestled in the heart of Hancock, New Hampshire, Brick House Arts is more than just a studio—it’s a vibrant hub for tactile creativity and connection. Housed in a space that breathes history and inspiration, the center is anchored by the expertise of resident artists Erin Sweeney and Bob Petzold.

At Brick House, the philosophy is simple: handwork is a bridge to community. Whether you are a seasoned maker or picking up a tool for the first time, the atmosphere is designed to be inclusive, supportive, and deeply rooted in the joy of making.
