Following the trails in this book will introduce you to unique characters, people who love what they do and love sharing their work with visitors. There is the husband and wife team whose gallery doubles as an ecological statement; it is literally underground. There is an Italian candle maker trained in the art of ceramics, and a Swedish-born woman who transfers watercolors into
textile designs. Nantucket scrimshanders etch delicate lines into ivory. A Yarmouth Port woman has mastered the historic craft of making sailor’s valentines. A glassblower has work in collections of six presidents and the Japanese Emperor. You will find a pewter crafter, world class bird carvers, basket-makers, jewelers who create one of a kind pieces, and renowned potters.
