Enjoying a treat

Line is long to join the bus to take us to the market... Full sun means playing hide and sneak with my exposed bare skin.  

getting closer... finally in the shade!

Decided to post as is for now what the time with International Folk Art Market was like.  Loved it with its Monsoon downpour which cooled off the temperatures to comfortable again even with the crowds being what they were.. PACKED!  

Adios for now.  Will be back after the weekend. 

Art Markets Abound in Santa Fe

This weekend has several Art Markets happening in town!

Meow Wolf's performances from last years IFAM
I'm sure they will return again this year and its a not to be missed event. 

SATURDAY EVENTS

Santa Fe Rail yard Art District has two Artists markets happening.  One on Saturday outside along the rail yard and on Sunday is the Artisan Market taking place in the Santa Fe Rail yard Farmers Marketplace.  Both are awesome places to scout out a treasure made by a local artist.  

Another event taking place on Saturday is the Farmers Market in the Marketplace across from the Saturday Artist Market which is across the street from REI & The Crown Theater complex.

SUNDAY EVENTS

On Sunday will be two artists market events, one at the Rail yard Farmers Marketplace building and up at the Museum Hill will be the International Folk Art Market which runs from Friday through Sunday.  You'll need a ticket for those days and you can find them online here! along with a schedule for all events happening. 

I'll be at the Santa FE Rail yard Artisan Market with a collection of woven wall tapestries and more.  Be sure to make a day or it or enjoy an entire weekend filled with local and international artists.  

More photos to come...

I love the colors produced with indigo dyes and these are amazing.  

So many amazing artisans travel far and beyond to make it to the International Folk Art Market where they are hosted by one of many volunteers every year.  Most of these talented artisans's sales would last these families for an entire year in living expenses back home.  I LOVE THESE ADORABLE FELTED ANIMALS...

I'm a sucker for all things textiles and fiber arts and of course I'll be attending again this year on Saturday as I'll be working Sunday at the Rail yard Artisan Market.  

You most likely to find me browsing the textiles and felted animals.  

I'm always on the search for knowledge to expand my own practice in fiber arts.  

Some photos from last year's event are a little blurry so this year will make it a goal to capture clear and crisp images.  hugs for now.. and see you around this weekend.. I HOPE..

Circles Abounding

Organic Woven Circle MAGIC

What a fantastic weaving adventures at Sew to Speak & Yarn shoppe while a bustling saturday's Farmers Market shared the streets.  Lunch was a little piece of pasterie heaven. As promised a little sneak peek of our group photo at the end of the day.  

The day was filled with yummy textures of various weaving methods such as plain weave, soumak weave, basket weave and rya knots.  

Sew to Speak & Yarn Shoppe resides at the old Worthington Library building.  

perfect location for outdoor events on the green

Ohio workshop starts soon!

Countdown commences... 90 minutes till Fiber Fun with Circles begins

The days leading up to Woven Textures with Circles has been slow and chaotic.  Running here and there from a 2 day trip to upstate New York for the 50th Anniversary of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at Rochester Institute of Technology and back to central ohio would have you whirling around with a dizzy state of mind like mine.  

Whoa..  It was lovely seeing my works on the walls at Dyer Arts Gallery and now soon will start the 2nd weaving workshop in Ohio within a year in Old Worthington Village at the loveliest shop Sew to Speak & Yarn.  So excited and can't wait to share the love of weaving.  WEaving with a circle loom is somewhat different and I've taught young students at age 6 to weave with circles so it'll be a nice changeup.  

See ya all back here within 24 hours with the deets on the results of the workshop.  Can't wait to see how these talented individuals take on circle weaving with TONS of textures.  

NEXT WEEKEND! Wanna play with yarn & circles?
