Artist and Organization Spotlight

Artists and performance organizations are busy these days making performances, workshops and their art available online. Here we feature what is happening now by various artists and organizations that we have worked with, presented and just plain love. We invite you to check them out and support their work.

Putney Craft Tour
This year our colleagues and friends at he Putney Craft Tour are going virtual. This tour is the oldest continuous craft tour in the country. What began in 1978 as a meeting around Margot Torrey’s dining room table led the way to a national movement of craft tours starting up in many areas around the United States.

This year’s online tour will feature 19 local artisans—including glass blowers, potters, jewelers, weavers, painters, woodworkers, artisan cheesemakers, and winemakers. From November 27 to 29th, crafters will open their virtual studio doors, offering video demonstrations, personal shopping experiences, and studio visits via Zoom. Some artists are scheduling in-person studio visits or virtual video chats by appointment — details can be found on Artist’s pages. Sandglass will once again be joining our community with a virtual shadow puppet making offering for the whole family.
