Even if you’ve never seen a weaving draft and don’t know warp from weft, you’ll be weaving by the end of the workshop. A paper-woven surface is also great for adding collage and mixed media to, so come explore the possibilities!

The Vermont Crafts Council is an advocate for the high-quality craftsmanship that can be found throughout the Green Mountain State. Vermont has emerged as one of the epicenters of the crafts revival in America and it has a long tradition of producing fine craft.

Founded in 1990, the Vermont Crafts Council is a statewide membership non-profit organization. It’s most public – facing projects are two statewide Open Studio Weekends that together show the work of over 180 studio artists.

Vermont Open Studio Weekend is a self guided tour that is free and open to the public. To aid the public in planning their tours, we produce a 24 page tour booklet, and a website with local “loops” showing locations and directions to studios that can be visited in an afternoon, a day, or over the weekend.

Bert and James Hubbell Combo. Laurel Costa

Presented by the Ilan-Lael Foundation and curated by Brennan Hubbell, this exhibition explores the extraordinary parallel lives and creative philosophies of two brothers who forged singular artistic paths on opposite sides of the Pacific Ocean.
