I have an open shop policy, with no
"secrets" to hide. You are welcome to come visit me any time. If you
come to visit in the winter, please put on your best snow tires first, or better yet, call
me when you get to Currier's Country Store in Glover and I'll drive down to pick you
up. I would love to give you a tour of the shop and walk you through the steps of
violin making. I am also available to give talks on the art of making instruments and
would be happy to make these presentations to schools or elsewhere.
For those of you who travel long distances to visit us here in Glover, we
would like to suggest you stay overnight before you head back down-country. Just 2
miles from our shop is a wonderfully cheerful Bed and Breakfast, Rodgers Country Inn, owned and run by Jim and Nancy Rodgers. The farmstead has been in
their family many generations, settled by their Scottish ancestors. Please visit
their website at: www.virtualvermont.com/rodgers/
