Spring is the season of renewal—and what better way to welcome it than by refreshing your space with unique, handmade treasures? Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 31, starting at 11 a.m., when Whiting Mills in Winsted hosts its Artists and Makers Spring Cleaning Sale. It’s the perfect opportunity to browse one-of-a-kind creations, meet local artists, and score some incredible deals!
One artist you won't want to miss is Tina Puckett of Tina’s Baskets and Woven Art. Known for her stunning woven creations, Tina is offering deep discounts—25% to 50% off select pieces during the event. But her work is more than just beautiful—it's meaningful. Tina transforms invasive vines like Oriental Bittersweet, which threatens Connecticut’s forests, into handcrafted baskets, bowls, wall hangings, and sculptures. "Each piece I create is not just an object—it’s a solution," Tina says. So when you bring home one of her creations, you're not only adding a unique, eco-friendly treasure to your space, but you're also helping to support sustainable practices.
Tina's Baskets and Woven Art Studio is located in Room 305 at Whiting Mills, 100 Whiting Street, Winsted. Open every Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the studio welcomes visitors eager to experience Tina's weaving prowess firsthand.
