WELLS — Laudholm Trust now has application materials available for the 23rd Laudholm Nature Crafts Festival, a show to be held Sept. 11 and 12 at the Wells Reserve at Laudholm.

The Laudholm Nature Crafts Festival boasts 100 New England artists and craftspeople in an historic setting. Sculpture, pottery, paintings, clothing, jewelry, and photography are among the crafts selected by jury for this prestigious event.

The world of nature is the unifying theme of the festival. Laudholm Trust recognizes that some crafts are not conducive to having a nature theme, so they will not automatically be excluded from the show. Originality, freshness, and display quality are key criteria used by the festival's jury.

Proceeds benefit research, education, stewardship, and preservation at the 2,250-acre Wells National Estuarine Research Reserve, which is home to the festival.

Information and applications are available at www.laudholm.org or by calling 646-4521. Applications must be received by March 16.
