About

Jolynn Santiago and Eric Cannizzaro merged their individual teaching practices into a shared craft studio on the grounds of a former dairy farm in Charlotte, Vermont. The studio offers classes in five disciplines—jewelry, enameling, woodworking, chairmaking, and basketry—with an ethos that welcomes all skill levels and prizes material exploration over technical prerequisites. They're also cultivating basketry willow on the farm's property.
