It may come as a surprise to some that Simon Pearce is an actual person and not just a well-known custom trademark for high quality glassware and pottery. Raised in County Cork Ireland, Simon Pearce began his career in glass at the Royal College of Art in London and worked in some of Europe's most renowned glass houses.
In 1981, he moved his operations to Quechee, Vermont, where he completed a restoration of an historic woolen mill and harnessed the hydro-power of the Ottauquechee River to fuel his glass furnace. Visitors to The Mill can view the hydroelectric turbine on the Mill's lower level, observe the teams of glassblowers, watch a potter working on the wheel, browse in the retail shop and enjoy a meal in the restaurant. 1760 Main Street
Main Street Museum is an alternative curatorial project—a fully public, open-ended discursion towards a new taxonomy. The Museum is a repository that values the evidence of use, the marks of human hands—and the labor of animals and machines—that make history personal and the spirit-life of objects tangible. 58 Bridge Street • White River Junction • Vermont • 05001
