(Ashfield, MA) The fate of Ashfield’s glass blowing studio depends on zoning relief from the town to continue operating and constructing a new residence above the studio. Ed Branson had previously operated the studio and has worked with glass for decades, now prospective purchases from Pennsylvania are working to continue the operation of the glass blowing studio. There will be a public hearing on November 29th to discuss the request of a variance, Special Permit, and other potential zoning relief.
