BRATTLEBORO — Cotton Mill artisans will open their studios for a weekend so the public can take a look behind the scenes of creative local businesses and meet the people behind them.
In addition, the weekend-long Cotton Mill Open Studio and Holiday Sale, which marks its 20th anniversary this year, will showcase exquisite handmade products from jam, to fine arts, to functional crafts, all produced by seasoned and emerging artists from Windham County.
The event also features live performances from the Vermont Jazz Center, New England Center for Circus Arts, Sandglass Theater puppetry, local music, and activities for kids.
Two café areas will also offer food and products from Tito's Tacqueria, Vermont Crepes, and Saxtons River Distillery, alongside an array of locally-produced artisan food items.
This year, the event is partnering with Downtown Brattleboro Alliance (DBA) to provie a free shuttle between the Cotton Mill, two downtown Brattleboro locations, and Brattleboro Union High School, where visitors to town may park for free.
