One of the features of the spring show is live artist demonstrations on each Saturday (April 18 and April 25) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Artists will be available to show their work and answer questions. Confirmed artists this year are Adele Moros, Bethel CT; Elizabeth O'Conner, Gaylordsville, Bluebird Hill Design Susan Randel, New Milford, Black Sheep Knits; Jen Benham, Warren, glass artist; Linda McMillan, Torrington, Happy Dog Studio; and Lori Meehan, Brookfield, LMM Designs.
