Art-to-Go from Studio STK

Thank you thank you thank you!

2007-07-08T11:36:00.000-07:00

I want to send a big big Thank you! out to all of our vendors from Friday night! I hope you all had a good time, it was lovely having you and your amazing work altogether in the Gallery! I would love to hear feedback - questions, concerns, ideas, advice... this event is very much in progress, so your thoughts on how to make it better will be much appreciated!

Thank you also to our visitors - spread the word!

Here are a few photos...

Extra! Extra!

2007-07-05T11:57:00.000-07:00

The surprises (sorry, I got so busy with fireworks and in-door grilling I nearly forgot!)

First off, new 12 North St. occupant, the Women's Whole Health Partnership, will be offering $5.00/10 minute massages for women during the Art-to-Go Event! How exciting is this? The new massage studio is peaceful and relaxing, and the owner, Ania, is one of our new favorite people around here. Such a great addition to the evening, and to our space in general!

Secondly, dug Nap will be joining us to promote his intimate, "unhatted" performances of his one man show, "My Imaginary Girlfriend." These performances will take place July 13 & 14 at Studio STK, and tickets are available through Studio STK - or buy them straight from dug tomorrow evening!

See you all then!

Beautiful things

2007-07-02T13:43:00.000-07:00

In addition to our lovely guest vendors, Studio STK's Art-to-Go Shop will be open for business this Friday evening, with such wonderful items for sale as these beaded earrings by Jen Berger...

And handmade paper jewelry from Portland, Maine, design studio Ember Grove...

We also have some special surprises for the evening... well, I doubt they will be surprises long. Check back tomorrow (I just can't keep a secret!)

Getting ready...

Vendor Spotlight: Claire Barrett

2007-06-13T10:24:00.000-07:00

I personally think this necklace from WIlliston jewelry designer Claire Barrett is just terrific -

Clever and unique, the small pendants - each featuring a braille dot symbol - make a beautiful overall design as well! See more of Claire's work on July 6...

Update:::

2007-06-06T21:25:00.000-07:00

The next installment of our "vendor spotlight," here is a sneak peek at Joanne Kalisz' ever-so-adorable "Happy Fantastic" items...

Wow.

2007-06-06T14:18:00.000-07:00

That's all I can say! We have had just a terrific response, so much that we have to close registration for this month so we still have room for shoppers! If you had your heart set on participating, but didn't get your registration in (for all you who have it on the way, I know who you are, don't worry!), let me know and I will put you on the waiting list for next month.

That's right. Same time, same place, in August!

Also, make sure you sign up for our mailing list (over on the right) to keep updated on Art-to-Go News and Events!

So much excitement!

2007-06-05T13:48:00.000-07:00

So I think this Art-to-Go DIY Show and Sell is going to be a blast! We have had tons of great responses (emails are coming in just as fast as I can answer them - makes me feel very important!!) from local crafters and artisans and I am looking forward to letting you know a bit about each.

First in the door with a confirmation was Kacey Boone of SubSixStudios right here in Burlington. Kacey makes really lovely jewelry and accessories, I just love her color combinations.

There is still (increasingly limited) space, so if you are interested, email me right away and I will send off a registration form!

2007-05-24T17:18:00.000-07:00

Y'all should totally stop in and check out the new and updated Art-to-Go Shop at Studio STK. We have organized and rearranged (nothing new, as our regulars are very familiar with by now!), and our carefully chosen selection of small art pieces is on view for you! We are very excited to have a selection of Bingo Card Books and letterpress notecards from MayDay Studio.

Come on in! The secret's out!

Also, First Friday Art Walk, aka Craft Night at Studio STK, will focus on quilting next week... stay tuned.

Art-to-Go

2007-05-22T19:06:00.000-07:00

We have a lot of art at Studio STK.

See? We even wrote it on the building. That's how much we have. My next few posts I am going to spotlight a few of the great things for sale in our Art-to-Go Shop. If anything catches your fancy, feel free to stop in and check it out for real at Studio STK! If you happen to be too far off to stop in in person, items will be for sale online in the near future...

These first are a selection of small whimsical works by Sage Tucker-Ketcham:

Skirt

2007-05-01T20:01:00.000-07:00

This is my favorite skirt. And so easy to make!

First Friday Art-to-Go Craft Night - Friday, May 4, 2007

2007-04-30T13:00:00.000-07:00

Hello friends!

Please join us this Friday, during the First Friday Art Walk (5-8PM) for Art-to-Go Craft Night at Studio STK. This week we will focus on fashion. Bring a fun fabric and we'll help you put together a great summer skirt! Or bring a plain t-shirt or tank and learn techniques for adding your own funky design elements. Its all this Friday, 5 - 8 PM at Studio STK. No charge. Everyone welcome! Come for the whole time, or stop in for a few minutes and see what's going on!

ps. I intended to illustrate this post with glamour shots of the skirt design. Alas, the camera did not cooperate. Pictures will be posted shortly, so check back to see what's cookin'!

Craft Fair Alert!

2007-04-20T15:16:00.000-07:00

Burlington Craft Mafia and Made Boutique and Gallery are hosting a Spring Craft Sale! The last one, held at Studio STK, was such a blast, I encourage you to check out this next installment.

Wonderful things

2007-04-14T13:34:00.000-07:00

I feel like sharing today, so here are some crafting blogs. First, the local talent...

subsixstudios - a local member of the Burlington Craft Mafia

Burlington Craft Mafia - not really a blog, more like their website, but hey, they're just that great!

May Day Studio - a letterpress workshop in Montpelier VT. Pretty neat looking journals.

And from further afield...

SouleMama - she writes about her family and all the lovely things she creates.

Disdressed family and crafting.

Liz Berg beautiful quilts from an artist in California.

That's all for now. If you or someone you know has a local craft blog/website (local to Burlington VT, I mean) send the link my way. I would love to have a look, and share it here!

No more wishy-washy

2007-04-08T13:58:00.000-07:00

Alright folks, here's the deal. No more wishy-washy whatever shall we do on the First Friday Art Walk night for us! Crafting night is here and here to stay. Now, all we require is the presence of all you lovely peoples! We will start planning together now, so by the time the next First Friday (that's May 4, for the calendar challenged among us) rolls around, everything will be in place and everyone will know about it!

So in the spirit of audience participation, very important to us here at SSTK, what crafting techniques would be most interesting to you?

Some ideas, to get the creative thinking started... postcards, felting, quilting, bookmaking, sewing, creature making, kids night, couples crafting, works-in-progress assistance, papiermache, dolls, decorative lamp shades...

First Friday Craft Night

2007-04-04T14:02:00.000-07:00

Isn't it just much more exciting to make things yourself? That's what we decided. So instead of having craft shows each month, we decided to opt in favor of a craft night where we invite you to truly join in, and leave with your own handmade craft creation! This month, for the first attempt, we invite you all to bring your work(s) in progress and to share your expertise with other crafters! 5 to 8 PM is the time, the Studio STK Gallery is the place. Drop in anytime and see what's happening!

Update

2007-04-02T07:54:00.000-07:00

Update on this craft show business. In an effort to not do too many millions of things all at once, we have decided to postpone the beginning of the Studio STK Craft Night for a couple of months. The idea will be to begin in the summer, with the nice long evenings perfect for strolling down to check out the handiwork. In the meantime, do check back here as we plan to have updates and craft-related news posts. Thanks!
