A window-front video playing on a loop shows a quick clip introducing a wood shop, with a short tabletop saw demo, setting the scene. One-of-a-kind, hand-blown stained glass hangs a few feet away in another display window, near a mixed hardwood Vermont-shaped cutting board and a row of fresh-cut soaps. The MINT is running a pop-up shop at 53 Merchants Row through December — and with its faux-fireplace and a sewing machine setup, it’s like a pop-up Santa’s workshop.
“We opened on Nov. 3 with the Downtown Sip and Shop event, and we’ve been open since,” said Kim Griffin, executive director of the MINT Makerspace.
