Open Studio Weekend is a wonderful opportunity to visit the private places in Vermont where art is made. It is May 28th and 29th, 10am to 5pm, at participating studios throughout the state. Maps are available on-line and at participating studios through the Vermont Crafts Council, www.vermontcrafts.com.

In West Castleton, Karen Deets, a stained glass artist, will be welcoming visitors to her private studio, tucked away near Glen Lake and Bomoseen State Park. This will be the first time Deets will be participating since 2019, due to the pandemic.

With a new outdoor granite patio and entrance, garden art will be featured. There will be a display of large panels, each with a story, and other smaller glass items. A large selection of fused jewelry will be available.

Learning and seeing how glass art is made will be the main focus. You are welcome to try glass cutting. Deets actively teaches workshops and is an instructor at the Community College of Vermont. She is a member of 2 cooperative galleries: Brandon Artists Guild, Brandon, VT, and Epoch Artisans Gallery, Manchester, VT.

Look for the large yellow signs throughout the state.
