Laurie Olefson, Owner/Maker at Olefson Art Optical studio

Laurie Olefson, curator of the largest selection of eyeglass readers in RI, didn’t begin by making readers but the craft markets were overfilled with jewelers so  the former art director learned to make eyeglasses and never looked back. Inside what Mayor Smiley called “Rhode Island’s first tiny house business Laurie fabricates readers and prescription frames in the Olefson Art Optical studio.  “Wearing our glasses will get you tons of compliments,” says laurie. “Try a pair and you’ll see.”
