A peek into our studio on First Friday in the heART of the Carbondale Creative District celebrating Dia de los Muertos in downtown Carbondale | CO!
Click to see all the artful action as artists created “in the style of” our guest artist ~ Lindsay Jones!
A collection of 30 pieces on our gallery wall created by local artist ~ Lindsay Jones! This collection will display through December! Lindsay is a contemporary artist, surface pattern designer, and graphic designer. She works in a variety of media including drawing, painting, digital art, sculptural constructions, and installations. Her fine art work reflects on ideas of landscapes and environments that are built, altered, shaped, and manipulated, while using playful patterns and abstracted imagery. When Lindsay is not working, you can find her outside camping, exploring remote lands, mountain biking in the desert, or racing cyclocross, all of which inspire her creative work.

HANDMAKERY: A Children’s Art Studio set in the outdoors of downtown!
It was a beautiful fall day that started out a little chilly but quickly warmed up as the sun began to shine in the Colorado, bluebird sky! Art making began at 11 and didn’t end until well over 3PM as the children just kept coming downtown to create! We had over 40+, little aspiring artists come to our art making/outdoor studio to create HARVEST CROWNS made of recycled cardboard + noodles + kid friendly paints in an array of festive fall colors + glitter to dazzle! What a fabulous day of creative fun, set to the tunes of Polka + delicious Austrian food. Lots of locals were out and about mingling. Take a peek at our HANDMAKERY HARVEST CROWNS below! A HUGE thank you to Carbondale Recreation Department for organizing this family fun event for the fall and keeping it FREE! HANDMAKERY loved being part of Oktoberfest 2013!

Pictured below is a bit of what we captured when our hands weren’t full of glue, paint, glitter or tying aprons…our only wish is we could have captured even more! Please view our entire photo collection of Oktoberfest 2013 in our HANDMAKERY GALLERY! (Continue Reading…)
