Here’s a feel-good story for the end of the year. It’s a story about perfect serendipity, and turning lemons into lemonade.
“Lemons” in this case were the news that the University of Vermont art department was going to phase out its fine-metals program upon the retirement this year of its longtime instructor, Laurie Peters. (An example of her work is pictured here.)
That news was part of a November 27 article I wrote about a then-upcoming exhibit featuring jewelry by Peters and a number of her former students, who have gone on to make beautiful, sculptural work and names for themselves. Names such as Timothy Grannis, Jacob Albee and Jane Koplewitz, among others.
That exhibit opened on Wednesday with a buzzing reception at Von Bargen’s in downtown Burlington, and continues through December 18.
But on to the lemonade.
