The Mystery of the Sparkling Glass

🌱 Where Is StorySprout Today?

A Mini Blog from the Tiniest Teller of Tales

 

StorySprout woke this morning with a flutter in her heart and a sparkle in her eyes. After her whirlwind PR adventures yesterday, she wanted her first official Penn Yan stop to be somewhere extra magical — a place where creativity hums, imagination dances, and colors seem to glow from the inside out.


So she followed a trail of twinkling glass…
then the shimmer of colorful clay…
then the softest whisper of inspiration drifting through town.

And where did it lead her?


Here are your clues:


✨ It’s tucked in the back of a beloved pharmacy…
✨ It’s filled with glass mosaics that catch StorySprout’s breath…
✨ It’s home to some of the adorable clay miniatures she’s ever seen…
✨ And it’s a place where creativity hums like a happy little song.


Can you guess where she fluttered in this morning?


That’s right — The Art Studio 126 Main!


A hidden gem bursting with imagination, color, and joy.


StorySprout will be spending the entire day here, soaking in the artistry, greeting friends, and maybe even posing for a selfie or two. If you’re nearby, stop in and say hello — she can’t wait to share the magic with you.


🎨 A Creative Haven on Main Street


The Art Studio at 126 Main is a unique treasure in downtown Penn Yan — part art gift shop, part cozy co-op, and part hands-on studio space. Stepping inside feels like entering a small creative community, where every shelf and corner showcases the imagination of local makers. From clay creations and mosaics to hand-crafted jewelry and one-of-a-kind gifts, the space celebrates the artistry and heart of the Finger Lakes.


Beyond its beautiful displays, the studio is also a place where creativity comes to life. They offer a rotating calendar of art classes and workshops for all ages and skill levels, inviting everyone — from curious beginners to seasoned crafters — to learn, experiment, and create. Whether you're exploring ceramics, mosaics, jewelry-making, or another craft, The Art Studio provides a warm, welcoming environment where inspiration truly takes root.


Stay Rooted, Stay Keuka… and stay tuned for more sprout-sized adventures! 🌟🌱
