Carol Schnabel

The back roads of Windham County are filled with creative people who ply their trades quietly off the beaten path. Every year, a group of artisans gather at the weaving studio of Carol Schnabel on the Green River Road to showcase their products and connect with friends at the Guilford Holiday Open Studio.

This event, which Schnabel helped launch, is both an opportunity for visitors to start their holiday shopping, and a chance to catch up with community members. Artists range from those who make things as a complement to another profession to those who work full-time at their craft.
