To mark this year's milestone, members extend a welcome to all in the local communities to share in a day of celebration, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 4. Tours of the studios and East Hill Gallery are planned. <\/p>\n
The Guilds Ensemble Resonance will perform chamber music of Mozart, Nino Rota and Taylor-Coleridgefor flute, bassoon, and piano at 12:30 and 2:30 p.m. Free light refreshments will be available. <\/p>\n
The Folk Art Guild has built a reputation for pottery, woodworking, weaving and other handcrafts. Beautiful and functional objects from these studios have found their way around the world, over the years that these studios have been in continuous operation. <\/p>\n
Eighteen independent structures have been built over the years, and the 1850s farmhouse has been pushed out and renovated in three directions. <\/p>\n
