Kicking off the Holidays!

One of my favorite “holiday marketplace” venues is at the North Shore Arts Association in East Gloucester, an historic building right on Smith Cove and Gloucester Harbor; often an artist can be seen set up at the edge of the water, plein-air painting or photographing the iconic scenery. It’s easy to imagine the ghosts of past painters standing alongside with their own easels, creating their own masterpieces – and clearly the inspiration is there for every artisan to interpret in their own way….as shown in all the fine art and craft for sale during the upcoming Holiday Market. I’m thrilled to be joining some of my friends from Cape Ann Artisans for this 3 day holiday event, Under One Roof, at NSAA November 6-8.

I will have lots of new jewelry designs available, as well as some of my recent “tee-tiny” blown glass vessels with miniature fantasy flower arrangements. Other artisans will have ceramics, textiles, mosaics, photographs and jewelry; browse and chat with us about our process all while surrounded by hundreds of pieces of art on the walls and enjoying a cup of warm cider or coffee. Hope to see you there – or at Coastal Locals in Rockport!
