They recommend you bring your own yoga mat, a towel/blanket, water, and sunscreen (and anything else you need for yourself!).
Dominique Lecomte Prints

My work is not intended to describe particular places, but the ideas related to them. I like the little things of life, the spectacle of nature, the lines and shapes of the world. I use them to create images, to map voyages, to share impressions. I want my prints to be colorful, warm, and a bit mysterious. It should make you smile, travel, wonder, so you’ll want to take them home with you.
Works from the Woods

Works from the Woods features handmade items created in the deep dark woods of central Massachusetts. Items include pottery, lampworked glass, slumped glass and other goods inspired by nature.

Speakman Sisters

Jen Wood has been a knitter & crocheter for almost two decades. She recently discovered a passion for hand dyeing yarn when trying to find a use for an over abundance of marigolds from her garden. Using the colors that nature offers and ingredients that have been used for thousands of years to dye textiles, she began an adventure in dyeing that led her to create The Speakman Sisters natural hand dyed yarns.

As I See It

I am a junior high student and my Dyslexic Super Power gives me my artistic strength. I started the business to share my art and give back to charities working on making the world a better place. Most of my designs start with a photograph and then I draw over the image with my iPad/pencil. I put the art on greeting cards, notepads, journals and totes.
