Holiday Heap Fast Approaching!

Nov. 15th from 10-5, come to St. John’s Church in Baltimore for a great show full of awesome crafty vendors. Last year this was one of my favorite holiday shows, and I love all of the Charm City Craft Mafia people, they really do a great job.

Upcoming Events

A few quick notes on exciting happenings in the Rebound world.

Tonight is the opening of Zenith Gallery’s Reincarnations exhibit. It is being held at the Alternative Gallery Space at 1111 Pennsylvania Ave. NW DC, from 5:30-8:30. All of the art in the show has been created from found objects and recycled materials. I am exhibiting a series of Book Purses with a travel theme, called “Journeys Through BookPurse Land.” More information about the exhibit can be found at the Zenith Gallery website.

Thursday I will be heading up to NYC to hear a lecture at the American Craft Council Library. The ACC is picking up where SNAG and Imogene left off
in their second ‘Summer in the City Salon’ program, ‘Connect/(Dis)connect.’

Featuring jeweler and educator, Bruce Metcalf, and Chanel Kennebrew of Junkprints, an indie craft artist, graphic designer and Etsy seller in conversation, the two esteemed makers will explore the complicated relationship among the broad spectrum of craft makers today in this not-to-be missed dialogue!

I’m really excited for this! There was some drama between established old school crafters and the “New Wave” group at the ACC show in Baltimore this Feb, and I got pretty riled up. I’m looking forward to hearing a lively debate and maybe even chiming in. It’s also a good excuse to go up to NYC and explore. I’ll be staying in Brooklyn with my friend Margaux Lange who makes the most amazing jewelry out of Barbie dolls. You can buy her production line at her Etsy shop, they’re really something.

1460 Wall Mountables

Come out tonight for the opening of DCAC’s annual open exhibit 1460 Wall Mountables. Participating artists chose 2′x2′ spaces on a first come first served basis, and can show whatever they like within that space. 8 of my purses are hung right by the bar, so you can’t miss them. And there’s lots of other great artists showing as well, including fellow Craft Mutineers Tina Seamonster, Rania Hassan, and Sean Hennessey. My work is hung right below a new friend, Sean Welker, who I recently met at Artomatic.
