A Touch of Glass in the "Margarees"

These are few examples of Margaree Glass Art . 


 Coady Tompkins Library and Polycarpe Glass Art


 Imagine what you can do with an old window frame , and this is the guy who can do it!!!




 Sunset and Seagulls




At the intersection of the Cabot trail and Route 19, you will find the village of Margaree Forks . This is also  the point where the Margaree and South West Margaree rivers connect . 

And there you will find A TOUCH of GLASS !!   

Well, it's a very unique glass art gallery . 

The "Artist" and Creative Craftsperson is Polycrarpe Leblanc , well know locally as "Poly" or "Paulie".

This shows some of his recent creations. He has  small items you could buy as a  display in your kitchen window and large items like these . He has created many custom items , even full windows in glass art for a new church window or restoring an old glass church window.  
 The most unique feature is the colours of the  lead he uses . Just like the "old days" .

Many who travel the Cabot Trail miss these  hidden gems that are found on the roads throughout the Margaree River Valley. 

Besides this lovely glass art , there are locally created wood products, woollen products, quilts , folk art woods , and pottery in various locations within the Margaree area and side roads.
