Workshop tour part of BMAC show

PUTNEY - Fine woodworker Richard Bissell will lead a tour of his workshop and showroom on Sunday, December 5, at 2 pm. This event is offered in connection with the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center exhibit “Guild of Vermont Furniture Makers: Evolving Traditions.”
Bissell is among the 21 members of the Guild of Vermont Furniture Makers and collaborating artists whose work is featured in “Evolving Traditions,” which is on view through Sunday, February 13, 2022.
The theme of “Evolving Traditions” was inspired by changing concepts of “home” and “work” during the pandemic as well as by an increasing focus among guild members on sustainable furniture-making practices.
Bissell’s contribution to the exhibit is a four-poster bed inspired by the work of Charles and Henry Greene, who designed a house and furniture for David and Mary Gamble, of Procter & Gamble fame, in 1908.
Admission is $10 or free for BMAC members. Register at brattleboromuseum.org. For more information call (802) 257-0124 or visit the website.
