Designer and furniture maker John Lomas makes all of the high-quality furniture at Cotswold Furniture Makers (132 Mountain Rd., 888/253-3738, www.cotswoldfurniture.com [1], 10 a.m.–6 p.m. daily; seasonal hours may vary) in his local workshop. By turns contemporary and traditional, the pieces are paired in the showroom with lighting, pottery, and glassware by other Vermont [2] artists, plus Tibetan rugs—all of which is for sale.
Meanwhile, artist Susan Bayer Fishman owns and runs Stowe Craft Gallery (55 Mountain Rd., 802/253-4693, www.stowecraft.com [3], 10 a.m.–6 p.m. daily; extended holiday season hours 10 a.m.–7 p.m. daily; extended summer hours 10 a.m.–8 p.m. Thurs.–Sat.), an epic collection of many other artists’ works—knickknacks like pewter measuring cups, glazed vases, and hand-carved backgammon sets.
