The Artwalk was a mild success. We didn't do quite as much business as we have in the previous 3 years we've done it, but we did well, and had a lot of positive feedback on our work, including some return customers. It's always wonderful to see friendly, familiar faces coming back to see us year after year! Getting face-to-face feedback from customers, seeing what they like and don't like, what they buy and don't buy, is one of the two primary reasons for doing a show. The other reason is to get our name out there, to advertise our work. I gave out a LOT of business cards to customers at the Artwalk who were interested in seeing more of our work. It's great to know that people like what they see!
We are hoping to do another show in mid-July, in Newington, CT. We'll be putting our application together over the next couple of weeks, so anyone interested who lives in that area will be able to come on by and see our work in person. We'll make an announcement as soon as we have the details.
Meanwhile, we have new jewelry to show you, which Alison is photographing for our etsy shop now. We'll let you know as soon as it's available.
Thanks for stopping by!

I studied art and jewelry making in college, and have been making silver jewelry on a commission basis for 16 years. I love to play with fire and hit things with hammers, so metal has been a good medium for me.
Elaine Whalen, Artist Bio
I was introduced to beading almost seventeen years ago, at which time I made my first pair of earrings. I have been beading ever since, at first for myself, then as gifts for family and friends. Over the years, beading has become an integral part of my life. I have sold jewelry at local retail venues and at art and craft fairs throughout Connecticut. I have also done commisioned work, including wedding jewelry, and have taught beading to both children and adults.
