Thanks to Glenn Crider of Nutcrackers USA for allowing our artists to use his raw wooden nutcrackers as the base for their artistic creations! Glenn A. Crider is widely accepted as one of, if not the best Nutcracker and German Crafts artisans in America. His work has been featured in numerous publications including Better Homes and Gardens, Southern Living, Wood Magazine, and many others. In 2008, the United States Postal Service featured four of Glenn’s original designs on the first U.S. Christmas Stamps to honor the age-old craft. A native of Richmond, Virginia and self-taught artist, Glenn has been perfecting his craft for more than twenty-five years to now have work on display in several Museums around the world including the Smithsonian Institute.
