Co-founders Vaughan Smith and Jacqueline M. Cohen are a husband and wife team. They both taught school for 5 years until they returned to the United States in 1985. Their move to Mansfield, Ohio, where they set up a new studio lasted two years. Jacqueline then started a masters program at Ohio State University in Columbus. Vaughan set up a new studio in German Village, Columbus , Ohio. Their new studio thrived and expanded, they sold through 100 galleries and museums, while exhibiting in craft shows across the Eastern United States. In 1994 they moved to a small rural village called High Falls in New York State, 90 miles north of Manhattan. They moved into a 200 year old Eyebrow colonial and built a studio/gallery. After 14 years the gallery and studio have been expanded to include a separate kiln building to house a large gas kiln, and there are now three showrooms. The original showroom displays the functional tableware and gifts, Jacqueline has a separate showroom to display her paintings and children’s book illustrations, the third is for the sinks, tiles and mirrors. {body} Arts and Crafts 2011-10-04T11:29:30+00:00 http://lunenburgregion.ca/index.php/entries/thing-to-do/amber-rose-art-gallery/ http://lunenburgregion.ca/index.php/entries/thing-to-do/amber-rose-art-gallery/#When:11:46:43Z The Art Gallery & Shop features only South Shore artist and crafts. {body} Arts and Crafts 2011-05-06T11:46:43+00:00 http://lunenburgregion.ca/index.php/entries/thing-to-do/gone-to-pieces-puzzles-gallery-canvas-images/ http://lunenburgregion.ca/index.php/entries/thing-to-do/gone-to-pieces-puzzles-gallery-canvas-images/#When:11:15:53Z We are located on the South Shore of Nova Scotia at Riverport.

Established in 1969, The Ross Farm Museum is located on highway #12 in New Ross, Nova Scotia, just 15 minutes from the Lighthouse route, or 25 minutes from the Gloosecap trail. Our Museum is a living, working, farm museum depicting 150 years of agriculture in Nova Scotia. We are a single family upland farm on land originally granted to Captain William Ross. Ross Farm Museum is still being farmed with Oxen, the way it was in the late 1800’s. In Rosebank Cottage, the original home of the Ross family built in 1817, you may see food being prepared over an open fire, straw hats being woven, wool or flax being spun, butter being churned, or many other skills being demonstrated that were daily chores for our forefathers, but are now almost lost. We have a working blacksmith shop where hardware is produced for the farm, as well we shoe approximately 60 pairs of oxen each year. There is also a working stave mill and cooperage producing barrels, the original workshop where products such as butter churns, spoons, buckets and even snow shoes are made, you might have a chance to take part in a class in our one room school. During your visit to Lunenburg County, have a stop by Ross Farm Museum it’s definitely worth a visit and it will provide you an opportunity to experience ”An Adventure in Rural Living”. {body} Kid Friendly, Museum 2010-07-21T12:51:23+00:00 http://lunenburgregion.ca/index.php/entries/thing-to-do/wile-carding-mill/ http://lunenburgregion.ca/index.php/entries/thing-to-do/wile-carding-mill/#When:12:12:57Z 242 Victoria Road Bridgewater, NS Open June through September Monday-Saturday, 9:30am-5:30pm Sunday, 1:30-5:30pm Wile Carding Mill is the only survivor of an early industrial park that included seven small workplaces. From 1860 to 1968, this water-powered mill lightened the workload for Nova Scotian farm families by carding a week’s worth of wool in one hour! See the very machine that revolutionized carding in the area and imagine the clatter as it prepared wool for bedding and spinning. Step outside and picture the line of ox carts that would wait patiently as women operators processed loads of sheep fleece. Wile Carding Mill’s overshot waterwheel still turns in its tranquil setting on Sandy Brook,  {body} Kid Friendly, Museum 2010-07-21T12:12:57+00:00 http://lunenburgregion.ca/index.php/entries/thing-to-do/indian-point-marine-farms/ http://lunenburgregion.ca/index.php/entries/thing-to-do/indian-point-marine-farms/#When:12:46:59Z Indian Point Marine Farms Ltd. has been growing mussels in the waters of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia since 1982.
