Chittenden County Historical Society: From China to Vermont - The Story of Longtime Resident Guy Cheng with David Sisco

Description

From CCHS:

Vermont has long attracted gifted artists, but few perhaps whose background is as eclectic as Guy Cheng’s. Born in China in 1918, Cheng first came to the US to represent China in the Davis Cup in 1936. The story of his life - from receiving an MBA from Tulane University, to becoming a much-collected silversmith and artist whose works were sold at Tiffany’s - is told by David Sisco, his stepson, a jewelry designer himself and co-owner of Designers’ Circle Jewelers in Burlington. Perhaps you remember Cheng’s store on Route 7 in Charlotte with its unusual door? Or maybe you’re a collector? If so, wear your jewelry and share your memories of this remarkable artist who made Vermont his home.

The Pierson Library (formerly the Shelburne Town Hall) 5376 Shelburne Road, Shelburne. Sponsored by the Chittenden County Historical Society.
