Shop Homespun!
Come do your Holiday Shopping early in a comfortably safe, in-person environment. Homespun’s Trunk Shows feature local artists selling items we do not normally carry in the store. Artists will leave their creations in Homespun for an entire week rather than a single day. Featured vendors include:
Nov 16–Nov 24: Providence-based jeweler Sema Gurerk of Floweredsky Designs and Rachel Beaupre of Wee Things Fiber Arts in Montague, MA
Nov 30–Dec 4: Michal Adar-Orgad of Basic Pottery and Design in Lexington
Dec 7–Dec 11: Sri Thumati, Cyanotype Artist, of Arlington
