As many as 15,000 people are expected at this weekend’s Brandywine Festival of the Arts.
When the Brandywine Festival of the Arts returns Saturday and Sunday for its 63rd year, the featured artist will be making handcrafted cottages honoring the Brandywine Park’s Josephine Gardens and Rose Garden.
Sue Ann Cox, known as the Fairy Potter, is known for her whimsical stoneware floral cottages and fairy accents inspired by inspired by the 19th-century primer, “The Language of Flowers.”
She’s a familiar face at arts fairs and has been a regular exhibitor at the Brandywine Festival since 2016.
Cox will donate a portion of the sales of these cottages to OperaDelaware, whose singers will be performing each day as 250 artisans and crafters displaying and selling their works in scenic Brandywine Park on Sept. 7-8.
Festival hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.
