Studio tour at Readsboro Glassworks

READSBORO - Mary Angus and Bill LeQuier, of Readsboro Glassworks, will be welcoming visitors to the glassblowing studio during the Vermont Crafts Council’s Fall Open Studio weekend. Open Studio weekend is an opportunity to meet the artists in the workspace, see the products being made, and learn about the processes involved. The Glassworks will be open on Saturday and Sunday, October 3 and 4, from 10 am to 5 pm.

Angus and LeQuier have been creating handblown glass and glass sculpture in the Readsboro studio since 1983. Pieces created by the team are exhibited in many galleries and juried shows nationwide, and included in numerous museum and private collections. On display and for sale during Open Studio Weekend will be carved glass sculpture by LeQuier and Angus’s handblown glass perfume bottles and bud vases, as well as unique glass ornaments, created together. The public is invited to stop in to watch one of the glassblowing demonstrations ongoing throughout the weekend.

The Vermont Crafts Council publishes an Open Studio Map and Tour Guide with directions to participating studios. The Guide is available free on the Vermont Crafts Council website, www.vermontcrafts.com
