To me the old crane at the future Niche Modern Glass Studio feels like a metaphor for all we're trying to pull off here in Beacon right now: taking this beautiful industrial building from a place of stagnation to a place of action and meaning again. After a lot of fussing, untangling of old wires and deep cleaning of the tracks more than 25' above the floor, the crane at the future Niche Modern Glass Studio is working again! It will be very helpful when the super heavy equipment comes later this month and also on a regular basis when we need to move deliveries of batch. Max, our four year old, also has also mentioned his ideas about using it for "flying lessons" but we'll have to see if that's covered in our insurance policy...
