Bloomfield Studios

Opened by Mel and Colleen Wilder in 2002, Bloomfield Studios is comprised of two facilities. Under the name Nightshade, Colleen specializes in oil landscapes but recently discovered a new passion, working glass on the torch she creates beads, work she compares to painting with glass. Mel's passion, named Spirits in Glass, centers on glass blowing and casting. Finding comfort and mystery working with molten glass, Mel enjoys the opportunity to introduce others to what he calls the Glass Spirits. Offering a gallery, ongoing demonstrations and classes in both glass blowing and flameworking.

Hours: 10am-5pm, Fri. to Sun., May to Oct.; 10am-5pm, Sat. & Sun., Thanksgiving to Christmas; other times by appointment or chance.
