Allen D. Androkites
Shaker boxes were produced by the Shakers from 1798 to 1950. My goal is produce original designs using the techniques that the Shakers
used. Taking unique and different woods and bending them together into bent wood boxes with a personal twist. After much work, a rubbed on
oil finish is applied to produce a well crafted object that is functional and beautiful.
Cynthia Baker, Handweaver
My mission is to create one-of-a-kind, affordable hand-crafted items for you and your home. Being hand-crafted does not mean excessively expensive to own and enjoy. I love creating beautiful fashionable scarves and warm shawls. These can be accompanied by felted hats, purses, and decorative pins in a wide array of colors. On the practical side, I weave kitchen towels and table runners fit for your heirloom furniture. I also specialize in custom made ecclesiastical textiles for churches, monasteries and other places of worship. Choosing the yarns in all of their lovely colors and putting together a new project are just the beginning of the thrilling process. Watching it unfold as I weave or knit is simply the best reward I know, second only to sharing these wonderful pieces with family, friends and customers.

Elisabeth Bard
Texture, color and the patina of old buildings stimulate the senses and lead me to create environmental tapestries and dreamlike scenes to envelope the viewer in the image. During the course of my artistic career, I have long been fascinated in the passage of time, space and environment and its impact upon the viewer; and in the possibilities of getting the viewer to think and feel about more than what immediately hits the eye; I want to envelope the viewer in the image, wrap them into its environment and have them leave with a different view on their world.

Jacalyn Beam
Primarily a plein air, alla prima painter, she can often be seen painting the mid-Atlantic landscape. Plein air is a French term meaning ‘in the open air’ and describes paintings executed outdoors. Alla prima (Italian) means the painting is completed in one session or while the paint is still wet. “I paint outdoors because the world is rich with beauty and it’s the optimum way to see three dimensional objects, the subtleties of light and shadows, atmospheric perspective, and ‘real’ colors.

Linda Doucette
I extract organic plant dyes and use them to colour natural fibers including cotton, silk and wool. Then I felt, spin, weave and stitch accessories for people and their homes. In recent years I’ve become increasingly fascinated with the sculptural qualities of handmade wool felt. This exploration has led to the creation of some unique three dimensional felt pieces.

Carole Fox/Silver Fox Pottery
What I love about clay are the many possibilities that present themselves as the imagination and material itself are stretched. In my work, I often find myself trying to express feelings of reaching, containing and opening up, as I form pieces with large round curves, slender necks and flaring rims. These forms ask to be filled, as the beholder is drawn to look into them or imagine what they could put inside. In fact, the pieces are defined by what could be put inside them. I often cover these forms with layered glazes and brush strokes of color to add depth and interest to the form.

Every earring, bracelet, necklace and ring is fabricated to exacting standard using roller printing and other techniques to achieve the patterned surfaces that have become Olga’s trademark. “I like to give my collectors a sense of discovery, and the marriage of tones and textures enables me to achieve this with the metal,” says the artist.

Scott S. Gold, II
In keeping with the simplicity of the time period in which my craft reflects, I have come to allow the wood to present its beauty and personality in the fashioned piece. Upon splitting open a specimen for hewing, I look for the unique grains, patterns and textures it has hidden beneath the bark. The internal examination of the specimen provides me with a mental picture of how the end result may look, and it also enables me to experiment with non-traditional adornment thus giving the piece the ability to look at home in today’s more contemporary environment. The creation of one of my bowls starts with getting a log that is large enough to make the piece that I want. It is then split open and the shape of the piece is cut out. At this point I begin the hewing with a hand adz, sometime I need to use a gouge and mallet to roughly shape the item. After this I scrape the surfaces smooth, then sand the polish until I get the desired finish.

I do alternate firings and am fascinated by the effects of the flame. The colors and variation of the glaze ware inspire me to continue to experiment. With each firing I anxiously await the results!
Karyn Warner Hammock/Metal Aesthetics
I am inspired by nature and pattern and I work to bring both texture and balance to my jewelry while respecting the boundaries of the materials I’ve chosen and the demands of making the pieces wearable. I strive to evoke the patterns, textures and shapes from nature that are as simple as they are beautiful. I use fine silver, 22k gold, semi-precious gems and both traditional as well as more current metalsmithing techniques including hydraulic press forming, fold forming, fuse forming and precious metal clay.

Ramona T. Maziarz
The wonderful way that different plants and creatures grow together is what drew me to the study of nature. Nature determinedly leaves no place empty or untouched; weeds, flowers, insects and creatures living their lives entwined. It’s that tangle of life I like to observe and ink.

Lynda Dashiell Ohotnicky/Wahine Designs
I hand form contemporary and classic jewelry using traditional metalsmithing materials and skills. My designs incorporate precious metals, found objects, beach glass, sea stones, pearls or other semiprecious gems into interesting and unique, yet very wearable shapes. I do all my own work, from the design of the original piece to the fabrication, in which separate parts are hammered, sawed and assembled by soldering. Each piece is completed by extensive polishing and, if warranted, patina 24 Karat gold is often added to my designs using the ancient Korean process of Keumboo. I love texture and color, and most of my designs reflect this love. I have a particular weakness for the sea and its creatures, and this is often reflected in my work.

Deborah O’Keefe
My Santa’s are completely handmade and involve hand and machine sewing, drawing facial details, and using natural sheep fleece and repurposed wool to create each individual figure.
Matthew Olian
I work in the medium of glass, utilizing a technique known as flame working as a means to express my artistic vision. Using nearly 3000 degrees of heat, I manipulate glass rods over an open flame into different forms. I find the intimate, one-on-one nature of flame working to be instrumental in fostering thought in my work. Much of my inspiration is drawn from the natural world. I believe that the shapes and patterns found in nature, from simple to complex, represent art in its purest form. I have a deep interest in interpreting these forms in glass whether it is an environment I have observed on the ocean floor, within a jungle in Thailand, or a galaxy that I have witnessed in night sky. I hope to share my love of these forms to the viewers of my art.

The quilts that I make are pieced or appliquéd designs such as Lone Star, Country Love, Log Cabin and Dresden Plate. All my quilts are hand-quilted by myself. The hand-quilting process is very time intensive and can take 50-100 hours to complete depending on the pattern.
John L. Shultz
I became interested in the mathematics of sundials about 30 years ago. I began constructing mathematically correct sundials as a hobby. Each of my sundials is either adjustable for or custom made for the user’s latitude and longitude. I have made sundials for locations all over the world. In addition to being a lovely asset to a yard or garden, my sundials are also quite functional. All of my sundials are made of copper or brass and include mounting hardware and directions.

Jeff Stambaugh/Avant Garden
At about the same time that I was introduced to pottery I also developed an interest in flower gardening which subsequently led to the introduction of Ikebana and Japanese style flower arranging. Although my work is somewhat inspired by the principles and philosophy of Ikebana, it doesn’t necessarily adhere to its stringencies. Instead it offers everyone from the casual gardener to the avid arranger different and exciting ways to think about flower arranging.
Barbara W. Stanger

All my designs are original.

Fabric, threads and yarns are my favorite creative media. They have been part of my life since I learned to sew in early childhood. With the exception of limited hand dyes, art quilts are constructed from commercially available fabric, yarn and embellishments in multilayer collage. Each piece is quilted and embellished with detailed thread painting worked on both a home sewing machine and a long arm machine. One of a kind jackets and accessories reflecting my love of color are quilted and embellished cotton, silk and rayon, and are designed for today’s active life style.
