We're heading out to Worcester tomorrow for the annual StArt on the Street that takes over a portion of Park Avenue. It's big, it's loud, and it draws around 20,000 people. We decided to go back to Worcester after taking a break last year to sell at the Old Deerfield Fall Craft Show. But I visited this year's show with a friend just to see if the people who told me last year they weren't going to return, really didn't return. And they didn't.
While even the fall show, the biggest and best attended of the 4 they sponsor, didn't have all the spaces filled, I was happy to see some new artisans at the show.
Tina's Baskets is not your traditional basket. She came with basketry art. Even her actual baskets were unique yet usable.
Liz Blanchflower came with her handcrafted sterling silver designs and unique French knot cord necklaces.
Lou Rudinski, woodturner, came all the way from Maryland to set up a tent with beautiful wooden bowls.
I had a laugh looking at the
Art of Conni Togel. It's all about sheep and they are wonderful! This one is called "Big Horn Sheep".
I hope these new vendors did well so that they'll return. Having attended this craft show as a patron for years, I always like to see new artisans.
Gotta run and pack up the car for Worcester.
