Michael Hock
Moretown artist Michael Hock has been collecting, repairing and restoring vintage tubular lanterns for more than a decade. His series of electrified lanterns - designed for folks who don't want to mess with fuel and fire - begin as rusty relics and are cleaned, painted or refinished, and are fitted with Edison era fixtures including bulbs with hand wound tungsten filaments. Many of the lanterns feature rare colored glass globes. Each lantern comes with an information sheet that includes production dates and bits of lantern lore and history.
Michael keeps shop at the Gallery on Wednesdays.

I credit my Japanese ancestry for getting me involved with paper folding at an early age. Many hours of my childhood were spent turning sheets of paper into animals, toys and folded gum wrapper chains. The Japanese people have a great reverence for paper, and over the years I have discovered a beauty and strength in washi paper, as it supports me throughout my life. All of the pieces I make are hand folded in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont from beautiful Japanese Washi papers, using a technique called origami. Origami is the ancient Japanese art of folding paper, “ori” meaning to fold and “kami” meaning paper. I buy this paper in large sheets directly from Japan, and then cut them into specific sizes (some as small as 1 1/2 inches square). By following specific patterns, I then fold this paper into all the mobiles, ornaments and jewelry.

Purinton Maple
Family Tradition- Chase Purinton moved to Vermont in 1803 settling on a hillside farm. For generations, the Purinton family produced maple syrup on their farms in Lincoln and Bristol, Vermont. Peter Purinton (descendent of Chase) fell in love with being outside and had a genuine passion for making maple syrup as he learned the process from his father Robert. In 1962, at the age of six, Peter tapped eight sugar maple trees with his older brothers. Little by little, Peter kept growing and advancing his sugaring operation.
The Farm- In 1979, Peter moved to Huntington where he purchased a sugarbush from the Jaques family. Peter transformed the 10,000 bucket operation into a tubing system. With one vision in mind, Peter worked hard to maintain a maple forest that was sustainable for generations. Today, Peter and Carla Purinton tap 17,000 sugar maple trees on 350 acres of farmland.
