An Sculpture's Dream: A Studio in an Old Mill

American Dream for an Artist: His or Her Own Studio

By Norma Jaeger Hopcraft


In Stonington, CT, there is a huge old velvet mill, one of many textile mills in New England that closed when the cheap labor of the South put them out of business. 


This historic commercial architecture somehow survived and is now used to host a Saturday market that draws thousands. It also is a rabbit-warren of studios: weaving, pottery, sculpture, photography, painting. This picture is 1/64th of the space available here. There are several indie coffee shops inside!



Here is a sculpture by this artist -- name unknown -- that caught my eye in one of the many labyrinthine hallways of the mill.


The sculpture is made up of hundreds of these little people-forms.

Say, if you like my blog, would you sign up to follow it? And RT the tweet that brought you here? Tnx!!


Here's a bunch of people admiring the little people! Next week: More studios! How about you? Do you crave a space in which to be artistic? Comment below!
