Chantilly’s Dulles Expo Center transformed into an arts and crafts Mecca this weekend as thousands of shoppers interacted with top artisans from throughout the United States at the Sugarloaf Crafts Festival.  

Hosted by Sugarloaf Mountain Works, the festival featured sculptors, clothing designers, woodworkers, painters, photographers, musicians and other fine artists. Interactive events including papermaking, iron forging, woodturning, children’s performances and live music attracted visitors of all ages and interests.
