SUMMARY:Opening: OPUS:A Handmade Village on Sat. 25 July 2026\, 2-4 pm

Fuelled by the growing interest in the handmade\, a back-to-the-land spirit and the emergent counterculture of the 1970s\, the artists of Opus and their story is a fascinating tale of a creative destination and enterprise that glowed briefly and was extinguished far too soon”.
