Where to buy: Cheap Joe’s http://www.cheapjoes.com is my favorite. They mail to your door. Ask them to include a catalogue
For First Day, bring all supplies and a creative spirit.
My studio is located at 59 Cedarvale Lane in North Hero.
Turn west off Rt. 2 onto Station Rd (south of North Hero Village and the Library)
Follow Station Rd till it turns right at the water and becomes Pelot’s Point Road
Follow it along the water about 1.5 miles till it bears right at a row of mailboxes
DO NOT bear right but turn left at the mailboxes onto Cedarvale Lane
It makes a sharp right then I am the first driveway on the left (#59 and #61).
