Art and Craft Fair Schedule, 2010

Our final shows for 2010 will be Thanksgiving weekend in Arvada, Colorado at the beautiful Arvada Center, followed by the Paonia Holiday Craft Fair at the Blue Sage Center in Paonia.

We look forward to seeing you at the fair!

You can see images and descriptions of our pottery in earlier posting of this web log.

Exciting news accompanies this announcement:
Our Peruvian Family will be joining us!

You may be aware that we have been visiting Taquile Island, Lake Titicaca, Peru since 1986 and have a deep and close relationship with extended family and friends in that indigenous community. The excitement is that a Taquile dance troupe is being brought to Albuquerque (at the U of NM Nov 16-19) and we are then bringing three of these textile artists to the two shows where you can see our work:

The Arvada Center Holiday Art Show Thanksgiving weekend:
9-5 on Friday Nov. 26 and Saturday Nov. 27. 6901 Wadsworth Boulevard in Arvada.
Our booth is #132 on the main level in the center of the room to the left of the stairs and the Peruvian Natives booth just across from ours in #119


The Paonia Holiday Craft Fair at the Blue Sage in Paonia: 3-8 on Friday, Dec. 3 and 9-5 on Saturday Dec. 4, where we will take over the whole stage with pottery and textiles plus weaving and knitting demonstrations.

Both shows will have our pottery booth with our unique Stoneware Fruit/Bread Baskets, Bowls, Figured mugs, and all the functional and sculptural work we've been making for you this year--AND a textile display from Taquile, a designated A UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site for its Textile Art, with open fingered gloves, wool hats, woven belts, ponchos, shawls and bags.

In addition, we will make two public presentations with our Peruvian guests:
in Aspen at ACES on November 29, 6:00pm, and
in Paonia at the Blue Sage on December 6 at 6:30pm.
