Washington Craft Show December 1, 2011

Miles away from the world of outdoor art fairs, the Washington Craft Show is a unique, upscale shopping experience with more than 185 jury-selected artists and designers from across the country offering work in a dozen different media.

WEEKEND EVENTS
SPEAKER SERIES
Friday, 3PM “VISIONS IN WOOD, A FURNITURE MAKER’S JOURNEY”
Sculptor-turned- furniture maker Daniel Gugnoni (Litchfield, CT) will discuss the process of creating a custom piece of fine art furniture – from concept and consultation through completion.

Saturday 3PM “WEATHERVANES, WHIRLIGIGS AND AUTOMATA”
Contemporary “whirligig” artist James Eaton (Sleepy Hollow, IL) will discuss his technique in creating sculptural works that are both whimsical and sophisticated.

FASHION SHOWS FRIDAY & SATURDAY at 1PM.
Models will show off the latest creations in wearable art, jewelry and fashion accessories by more than three-dozen fashion designers and jewelry makers, from 32 states across the nation, whose work will be available during the show.

The wearable art on display will be as diverse as the designers themselves: from hand-embellished silk shirts and scarves to hand-painted raincoats, jackets of all kind and sandals.

Accessories and jewelry creations will run the gamut from simple, yet elegant brooches and rings to necklaces made from exotic stones and gems, often in concert with organic elements; to hats, handbags and purses for any occasion.

SHOW SCHEDULE
Friday, December 2: 1OAM-8PM
Saturday, December 3: 10AM-6PM
Sunday, December 4: 11AM-5PM
