To those of you that visited my studio in September, we hope you enjoyed Breakfast in the Barn! As we leap into the holiday season, I'd like to invite you back! Or if you missed it, please stop by for a visit this season. Visits to the Barn will enjoy a special holiday bonus!

I will be showing and selling work every Saturday in December. December 1, 15th, and 22nd, you can find me here in the Barn Studio or very close by! Friday, December 7th opening evening reception) and Saturday, December 8th is the seARTS Wearable Art Holiday Show & Sale at the Saunders House at the Sawyer Free Library. This is a wonderful way to see and try on a wide range of wonderful hand-made, one of a kind wearables! See the flyer below or visit the new seARTS website to learn more.

There's much to see and buy – or if you aren't sure, then I am happy to provide a gift certificate! In addition to jewelry and hair accessories we have the popular books on sea glass, flash cards, note-cards, and other related items.

At the intersection of art and technology comes the incredibly thoughtful "Square" that has saved me and many fellow jewerly artists with it's incredibly simple functionality. I happen to notice that its inventor/founder, Jack Dorsey just won an Innovation award from the Wall Street Journal. Thanks Jack. BTW, he's also the founder of Twitter!

Once again we are pleased to showcase our local jewelry and fiber artists in our Annual show at the beautiful Saunder's House.  Opening reception December 7th will have the Cape Ann Big Band Jazz Trio along with food prepared by the artists!   And of course, we will be there all day during the Middle Street Walk.

 

Here's a wonderful way to showcase your work and your personality as a "stylist" with Conde Nast's new digital platform called Fingerprints!  I was thrilled to be profiled here.  Here is one of the featured pieces.

On Sunday September 9^th, 9AM – 3PM – we are having a little gathering at my home & sea glass studio jewelry studio.  Also enjoy work from – Beth Williams – who makes beautiful glass beads and jewelry and lives in the neighborhood, Jo-Anne Crawford, who has a lovely silk collection from female tribes in Southeast Asia, and Mahroussie Jabba who will treat us to a demonstration of Lebanese bread-making – thus “breaking bread at the barn.”   Please stop by for a cup of coffee & bite if you are around that day…. check out some beautiful work, and meet some new neighbors!
