Elsie Kaye Artisan Gifts & Flamework Studio

Elsie Kaye Gift Shop &amp; Artisan Studio 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. Holly currently teaches flameworking and metalworking at her studio and is on the faculty at the New England Craft Program in Williamsburg, MA. 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. 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. She is an active member of her community, where she has lived with her husband and two children since 2006.

Sawyer Hill Ecovillage

For the sixteenth year in a row, the two neighborhoods of Sawyer Hill Ecovillage in Berlin will be celebrating the environmental holiday Give Your Stuff Away Day. We do it by, well, giving away stuff -- toys, clothes, books/media, electronics, cookware, housewares, office supplies, furniture, you name it. Basically, it's anything you might find at a multifamily yard sale, but all totally free!
Hours are from 9 am to 1 pm. PLEASE, no early birds!
We'll lay out our free items at designated giveaway areas throughout our neighborhoods. For details and any weather-related updates, see:&nbsp;https://mosaic-commons.org/gysa-2026
Service animals are welcome, but pets must be left at home.
For directions see:&nbsp;https://sawyerhill.org/directions
Please come visit during giveaway hours on May 16, bring your shopping bags and carts, and help us re-home usable items!
