Our neighbor, Graham O of Hands On Gourds, makes fantastic lamps and baskets and more out of gourds, and is frequently featured at the Winter Ithaca Farmers Market open from 11 to 2 on Saturdays, through March, in the beautifully renovated Greenstar “Space” on Hwy 13, near the west end of Court Street. This is a great way to get a first-hand feel for the local food and craft scene.
Additionally Graham is offering some fun classes that are just another reason to visit Ithaca in the winter!
