Maine Craft Weekend at Artsworth

Artsworth Studios 25 Pine St., Ellsworth

A weekend of open studio activities! Artsworth annually creates this "hub" of fine arts activities in the building we share with our glassblowing neighbor, Atlantic Art Glass. It's a grand celebration of creativity by local makers, and you can find many of them here in one dynamic location.

Linda Perrin's team of glassmakers will demonstrate traditional glassblowing all day as they make glass pumpkins of all shapes, sizes, and colors! Atlantic Art Glass's studio will be turned into a glass pumpkin patch as the molten glass is pulled from the furnace, blown, and hand-formed on the end of a blowpipe. There are bleachers set up, and refreshments will be provided for your comfort as you watch demonstrations. The glass pumpkin patch charms visitors of all ages!

Artsworth is considered an MCA HUB. Local artisans will share their work at the 25 Pine St. Warehouse—fine jewelry, prints, pottery, fiber art, and more! Everyone will be showing, selling, demonstrating, and discussing how they make their work.

Come one, come all! Artsworth prides itself on being welcoming to all people and focusing on building community one event at a time. We want to see you out for this fabulous weekend—see you there!

Saturday: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Cardamom-Ginger Ghee Making Demonstration at the Conscious Cafe

Conscious Cafe 50 Church Street, Ellsworth

Join Chef Jesse Steiger as he clarifies butter and turns it into ghee. Ghee is a type of clarified butter originating from India. The milk solids are removed, meaning ghee has less lactose than butter. Traditionally, ghee has been used as cooking oil, an ingredient in dishes, and in Ayurveda therapies. Infusing herbs into the ghee, such as ginger and cardamom, is the best way to acquire the healing benefits of those herbs.

After the demonstration, participants are welcome to buy some ghee and take it home in their kitchens. Chef Steiger will share more about the health benefits of ghee and how he uses it in his own recipes. Space is limited and on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The demonstration will begin at 4:00 PM and end at 5:00 PM.
