The unique workshops of Charles Shackleton Furniture and Miranda Thomas Pottery, located in a 100 year old woolen mill in Bridgewater, Vermont, consist of a dedicated group of craftspeople who take great pride in accomplishment and are committed to one common goal: to produce handmade furniture, pottery and accessories of the highest quality. Each piece of furniture and pottery has been designed and made to reflect the philosophy that extensive handwork creates a product which "has soul and life." Many elements of Shackleton Thomas' designs reference patterns in nature, from the gentle hand-carved curl of an armchair to the spiral forms on sleigh beds and chairs, to the tree of life and animal figures that are represented on their pottery. Shackleton Thomas has a retail shop at Stowe Mountain Lodge. For more information, visit http://www.shackletonthomas.com.
