We're quite proud of this success, but we meet new locals in the store Every Day, so we know we still have a lot of promoting & introducing to do!

Worthington on "Chronicle"
In April, mixed-media fabric artist Catherine Worthington was visited by a crew from the Boston Ch5 (WCVB) show "Chronicle" in her Brunswick studio. The result is a beautifully-produced TV segment which almost does full justice to her amazing, beautiful, and complex work (you just have to see her work, in person, to understand fully!)
Her segment aired 5/22/24, and you can see it HERE.
