It really is beautiful here. The flowers are blooming. And folks are finding us…each day brings visitors from the islands and beyond. Colorado, New York, Montreal, Montana – all in one day at the gallery – oh, and Grand Isle, too!
Now if only we could get a hummingbird to visit us!
Grand Isle art Works is taking part in the “Take a Seat in the Islands” promotion sponsored by the Champlain Islands Chamber of Commerce. Our bench has been painted by our very own gallery artist: Rachel Laundon! It will arrive this Saturday. Be the one of the first to take a seat on our bench in the islands!
May 28 and 29 is Vermont Open Studio weekend! Watch for the yellow signs to start appearing all over the state. This is your opportunity to get inside your favorite Vermont artists’ studio or gallery. The gallery and Yellow Dog Farm are representing the islands. Come on out – rain or shine!
Yes, me! I made a Norwegian Toque under the guidance of our instructor, June Golato! I have not knit with small needles in a while. I love the way this hat came out and was surprised that it actually knit up so quickly.
Here it is! Knit from my very own 50% mohair – 50% Columbian wool. June has a great Norwegian mitten pattern for us to try out in another class. Watch for details.
My sister, Sally came for a visit last weekend. She is a felter – wet felter, that is! She spent all day Saturday teaching me how to create felted flowers. I am not a pro yet – but I love the results. Made from our mohair, of course!
We have more classes coming up – check out the Programs page!
