Bead Lady to take stage
Andover resident Pam Newman will take center stage at Fruitlands Museum this fall as part of the "noa at Fruitlands 2010 Artisan Series."
On Thursday, Sept. 16, Newman, who is also known in jewelry circles as "The Bead Lady," will be making jewelry from beads she collects from around the world. She is a perfect example of an Andover resident who has created a successful cottage industry, selling her work at dozens of stores and craft fairs throughout New England.
The noa at Fruitlands Artisan Series features a different local artist every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Oct. 15. Noa, which is located at 157 Main St., Groton, began managing the Fruitlands Museum Store in May, and features handmade jewelry, handcrafts and gifts from 200 local artists.
Store hours coincide with weekdays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and weekends from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
