i go to snow farm in western massachusetts usually to make glass beads and incidentally
to observe the seasons. the colors and textures of the landscape inform the beads and
the memories represented by these images inspire my year.

p.s. for a long weekend or a week you can learn glass blowing, wood working,
pottery making, textile arts,
collage, drawing, welding or jewelry making
at snow farm which i think of as camp
for grown ups with only arts and crafts.
