Come celebrate the holiday season with us at our annual Holiday Open House on November 18-19! Throughout the weekend we will have members of the Southern Highland Craft Guild demonstrating their process, as well as light fare and refreshments with music! Find out more below!
Featured Makers:
Amy Brandenburg of Amy Brandenburg Studio will demonstrate how she makes precious metal clay jewelry. “My jewelry is inspired by styles from the turn of the 20th century: predominantly Arts and Crafts, focusing on handmade items and Art Nouveau which embodies flowing lines, nature and an appreciation for beauty. My pieces are also influenced by my love of architecture and miniatures because I believe that objects altered from their original size provide a sense of magic and wonder. These pieces are modern heirlooms.”
Jeffrey Neil will showcase his wood working skills in creating wooden boxes. “I have mainly taught myself the pleasures and agonies of working with many of the American hardwoods. Over the past 35+ years, I have enjoyed crafting many pieces of furniture however I have found the most challenge in making small heirloom and jewelry boxes using many of the same techniques as fine furniture makers.”
Featured Music:
Pianist/composer, Robert Thomas will be performing Saturday, November 18th from 1-3pm. Robert’s compositions draw from a wide spectrum of influences ranging from jazz and blues to new age and Celtic.
