Elsie Kaye Artisan Gifts & Flamework Studio

Elsie Kaye Gift Shop &amp; Artisan Studio<br /><br />In 2009, on a whim, Holly Kenny took a flameworking class and learned to make glass beads.  This sparked a love of glass art and led to the launch her business, Elsie Kaye Gift Shop and Art Studio in downtown Westborough.  <br /><br />Holly currently teaches flameworking and metalworking at her studio and is on the faculty at the New England Craft Program in Williamsburg, MA.  <br />Holly loves the fluidity and movement of glass and enjoys incorporating metals, enamels and other elements that can change the texture and appearance of the glass. As a result, much of her work takes on an abstract, organic feel. Her work, under the name Elsie Kaye Glassworks, can be found at more than 50 boutiques and galleries across the country.<br /><br />Holly is passionate about promoting emerging local artists by selling their work at her retail shop, as well as helping to foster connections with new and existing businesses in the local area.<br /><br />She is an active member of her community, where she has lived with her husband and two children since 2006.<br />

<p>Saturday, May 30 — Noon to 4 PM<br>55 Union Street, Worcester, Mass&nbsp;</p>

<p>Join us for a peaceful protest on the public sidewalk outside the Charles River Laboratories 55 Union Street location where somewhere between 150-200 beagles are being used for toxicity testing and other experiments right now in downtown Worcester.</p>
<p>Charles River is a known purchaser of beagles from places like Ridglan Farms and Marshall BioResources, the nation's largest commercial beagle breeder (23,000 beagles in windowless sheds in North Rose, NY), which has racked up over 20 federal Animal Welfare Act violations.</p>
<p>The dogs are bred at criminal facilities like Marshall and Ridglan Farms and sold to research labs like CRL to be poisoned with toxic pharmaceutical compounds paid for by pharma companies then killed and dissected at study's end — by design.</p>
<p>This is the system we are trying to change.</p><p>Massachusetts law requires healthy research dogs to be offered for adoption when no longer needed. We want to ensure the experiments stop, the dogs are freed and the adoptions take place.</p>

<p>Charles River is currently under investigation by both the DOJ and the SEC. The FDA is moving to phase out animal testing — because more than 90% of drugs that pass animal studies fail in humans. The science doesn't work. The killing continues anyway.</p>
<p>OUR REQUESTS</p>
<p>— End all canine experimentation at 55-57 Union Street immediately.<br>— Release all research dogs and currently at this facility to verified rescue organizations<br>— Comply with the Massachusetts Beagle Bill<br>— End the commercial relationships with Marshall BioResources and Ridglan Farms</p>
<p>This is the first in a series of peaceful protests at 55 Union Street until our requests are met.</p>
<p>All are welcome</p><p><br>Contact: Chip Brown<br>Email: vegan.dog.runner@gmail.com<br></p>
