Fall Open House: best ever!

We had more than 2,000 people come through the gallery adn studio for the annual fall open house. This year we had baskets from Claire Swanson the weaver; jewelry from Patty Conlin; leather from Sharon Cherney and the new artist: Jennifer Ionta who creates her own glass bead jewelry.

A customer came by recently in their helicopter, and they took Betsy up and she took these really awesome pictures….Mind you it IS the middle of winter so you are lucky you can see ground. The white building is the house. The big cluster of red buildings are the studio, gallery, kiln building, packing and shipping, the new garage (where Too keeps his Triumph) and the old garage. There is also the silo, the granary, and then the pump house (which used to be the self-service gallery back in the 90s before the new Gallery opened).


There are a few bodies of water in the pictures. The ponds near the house are the result of returning the 30 acres behind the Studio to their natural state about 10 years ago. A project we did with the Department of Natural Resources. The lake that is about a quarter mile behind the Studio is Todd. Durring the summer people often bring a picnic and set up out in the back by the lake.

Inside the Gallery

The gallery has more than 120 artists from all over the country and even a few from Canada (our neighbors from the North). Each and every piece is special, unique and handmade. We have pottery, blown glass, leather, jewelry, paper, metals, fibers, and more.
