Description
Self-tour the workshops and studios, making a first stop at the East Hill Gallery, which showcases a selection of the Guild handcrafts in an elegant presentation. The Natural Fibers Studio shows its clothing and accessories there. After the Gallery, there are six other indoor locations to visit: Pottery, the Woodshop, Weaving, Books in the Tractor Shed, and Graphics and Inspired Designs in Romeo.
Fresh apple cider will be pressed in the yard. Beside the cider, several varieties of pears from Guild orchards will be for sale. Early comers will have a chance to get a loaf of fresh sourdough, until it runs out.

There will be demonstrations of throwing a pot on the wheel in the Pottery Studio. One of the many wood lathes in the Woodshop will have a bowl mounted, for a woodturning demo. In the airy Weaving Studio, a warp on the loom is ready to receive a weft. In the building called Romeo, two displays greet the visitor. Pressed dried flower notecards and silkscreened cards highlight the work of the Graphic Arts Studio, along with innovative books by a neighbor. The other display is Inspired Designs, whimsical and thoughtful creations using old tools and salvaged objects, for hanging on the wall.
The Open House is a free event, with safe practices followed throughout. No pets, please!
