Creation Station at Stained Glass Express
Stained Glass Express 966 Western Ave, ManchesterCreation Station at Stained Glass Express--All week in honor of Maine Craft Weekend, enjoy 10% off the Creation Station. Come see what all the fuss is about!
Regular prices range from $18-85, and projects are designed to be completed in less than an hour (they'll go in the kiln and be ready to pick up in about one week!) All the materials and instructions are included in your "kit", but you'll assemble the kit from a huge variety of choices. Because you don't have to do any cutting, these projects are great to do with kids! No experience needed, but someone is always around if you need encouragement. We have a spacious classroom where you can work on your projects, or take them home and bring them back at your convenience to go in the kiln. Come any time during store hours (Mon-Fri 9-6, Sat 9-5); the Creation Station is always open. While you're here, check out our Gallery of work by local glass artists, and maybe sign up for a class!

Lost on the Side of the Road: Mixed Media Found Object Embroideries (exhibit at Handiwork studio + market)
Handiwork Studio 199 Pleasant Ave, Portland"Given love and attention, the things we discard can make the world so much more beautiful."
On foot and by bicycle, Tree scans the streets of Maine for lost and tossed items -- keys, springs, toys, disposable straws, and all manner of roadside debris -- then stitches them onto fabric to create new narratives for the repurposed objects. Her work is an exploration of how humans interact with our environment as well as a thoughtful, joyous marriage of color and texture. You can follow her progress on Instagram at @RoadTrashCritters.
Tree's studio show at Handiwork is open 10-5 Wednesday-Saturday and 11-4 Sunday.

D.E.D. often ventures into the territories of the Allman Brothers Band, Santana, The Band, Rolling Stones, Phish and more. The opener will be The Wayside, a Maine-based power trio (Matt Johnston, James Rea and Corey Smelley) a blend of blues, rock, and funk reminiscent of the 60’s & 70’s.
