History

Established in 1987.

An absolutely broke but in love couple decided to open a bookstore. We found a basement location, borrowed a few thousand dollars, named it Turning Point and started building bookcases.

We opened as a self-​help bookshop with a few Native American artifacts, one-​of-​a-​kind hand wrought works in silver and unique mineral specimens acquired directly from the mines of Brazil.

Over time we anticipated the death of the small bookstore and began morphing into the present.

Over the past twenty-​eight years Turning Point Gallery has evolved into the areas premier collection of Museum Quality American Studio Glass and Small Studio Handcrafted Jewelry. Mineral specimens and the works of world renowned artist Susan Seddon-​Boulet are also found throughout the gallery. We hold an online sale of original works by Ms. Boulet every May, and continually look for and find the truly unique in glass and natural objects of art. The rest is as they say «The Future».

We look forward to your visit!
