Gorse Mill Studios, 31 Thorpe Rd, Needham, MA, FREE
Celebrate the season and help an important local charity at Gorse Mill Studios’ holiday open-studio and art-sale event Dec. 3-4.
As part of Needham’s town-wide holiday art sale, Gorse Mill Studios at 31 Thorpe Rd. (www.gorsemillstudios.com) will be open to the public for art demonstrations, displays and sales on Saturday, Dec. 3, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and on Sunday, Dec. 4, from noon to 5:00 p.m. This free, family-friendly event will feature demonstrations of glass-blowing, wheel-thrown pottery and chain-maille jewelry-making as well as an opportunity to meet a wide variety of artists and craftspeople in their studios, some of which are open to the public only twice a year. Their work will be on display and available for purchase just in time for the holiday season.
This year, collection boxes for the Greater Boston Food Bank will be located throughout the building to receive cash donations from visitors, and Gorse Mill artists will donate 10 percent of the weekend’s sales to the GBFB. The GBFB is an important source of support for Needham’s only food bank, run by the Needham Community Council.
