Karen Beattie and Lynn Stanley Haney – Stringing Them Along Studio

Karen and Lynn have been busy creating necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more. Their beads come from near and far, including antique and vintage beads. Their one-of-a kind pieces run the gamut from classic to funky and make gift selection so easy and fun!

Lisa Krall – Feats of Clay
Lisa has been busy with her work through Wesleyan Potters, where she experiments with a variety of techniques and materials. She uses both hand building and wheel throwing to create her decorative and functional items in stoneware and porcelain. You’ll find bowls, cups, planters and more for charming and useful gifts.

Eileen Griffin – Photographer, Red Oak Hill Studio

Eileen is a nature photographer capturing landscapes, flora and fauna. She is fascinated by that certain slant of light when textures of nature reveal themselves. Once in awhile she also captures the whimsy of life either through people, statues, and animals. Her photography is available in a variety of sizes, all matted with both frames and unframed. Her popular note cards will also be available with and without decorative papers. She is also experimenting with new and different ways to display her photographs. All photographs are printed and matted with archival materials.

Guest Artists:

Mary Alice Neubeck – Amazon Creek Studio

Texture and color play into the hand knitted work of Mary Alice. Her search for unique yarns and her love of combining them can be seen in scarves, wraps, shawls and hand warmers.

In addition, Mary Alice and Eileen have teamed up to form Free Spirit Fibers and will feature hand-sewn pillows, placemats, table runners, and sachets.

Zip Sopp – Lake Parlin Artisans from Maine

Zip puts together stunning hand crafted leather items. You’ll find handbags, journals, book covers and more. These items are high quality and will make excellent gifts. See examples of her work at http://www.mainecraftsguild.com/artists/zip-sopp/
