This November and December I will be flogging my wares at two local fairs. The first is Nov 29 & 30 at the Marin County Civic Center, 11-4. This is the employee craft fair, which I did last year, and had loads of fun. In 2022 I sold a book there and lots of prints and cards. The other fair is the Mill Valley Holiday Craft Fair on Dec 2, 10-4. This is a new one for me, and as it was juried, I imagine the calibre of work will be high (possibly with the exception of me and my tat).
On the sale table will be a couple of books, lots of cards (10 new images this year), scraps of my marbled paper for your own crafts, little handmade blank books, and lots of prints—woodcuts, mokuhanga, and silkscreen.
A piece of mine was selected for the library’s new art-lending program, due to begin in January 2024. Works by 30 artists were chosen, and other pieces are on display at the Civic Center. I put in 2 of them: Peach Tree and Piranhas. Neither are for sale. I had a peek at the show and there are some gems.
In the studio I am plugging away at several books, trying to figure out lithography using an etching press, experimenting with tonal values in silkscreen—or rather, attempting to achieve them—and finishing up cards for the fairs.
