A weekend of open studio activities! Artsworth annually creates this “hub” of fine arts activities in the building we share with our glassblowing neighbor, Atlantic Art Glass.

Linda Perrin’s team of glass makers will be demonstrating traditional glassblowing all day as they make glass pumpkins of all shapes, sizes and colors!  The studio of Atlantic Art Glass will be turned into a glass pumpkin patch as the molten glass is pulled from the furnace, blown and hand formed on the end of a blowpipe. There are bleachers set up and refreshments provided for your comfort as you watch demonstrations. The glass pumpkin patch charms visitors of all ages! 
 
Fogtown brewery located in the building, will be slinging wood fired pizzas and their delicious and creative brews including cider, beer, wine and seltzers. 
 
The following artisans plan to fill the gallery and parking lot with Autumn inspired work for sale. You will find pottery, weaving, fiber art, house wares, painting and sculpture. Everyone will be showing, selling, demonstrating and discussing how they make their work.
