Saturday, December 12, 1pm - 4pm

Meet jewelry designer Emily herself at this pre-Holiday trunk show. In addition to bringing along her vast line of jewelry, Emily will be taking custom orders so you can give one-of-a-kind jewelry to your friends and family members this Holiday Season! Personalize bracelets with your friends' names and special blessings and they will think of you and your message each time they wear them. Also, pair your gift with one of Chewy Lou's inspirational t-shirts to start their day off right. (Profits of Chewy Lou's tees each go to a different charitable foundation such as Susan B. Komen Foundation and Michael J. Fox's Parkinsons Foundation) Don't forget our motto: buy one for them buy TWO for you! Bring along your friends and make a party of it!

Reflections - a Natasha Vetlugin Retrospective

Handmade Galleries is happy to showcase the work of Natasha Vetlugin.  Known primarily for being one half of the dynamic ceramic team of Skellramics, Vetlugin is equally at home as a fine artist. Reflections is culled from the past twenty years of her art from her early drawings in book form to her later large-scale portraits. Vetlugin reflects not only on her own art, but also on the dichotomy of her life in two very diverse countries: Soviet Russia and the United States.

Handmade is the first US venue to display this work. It is showcased in the front windows as well as the small gallery in the back of the store.

 Join us at the opening reception.

Where: Handmade Galleries
When: Saturday, October 17
Time: 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

The exhibition runs through October 31, 2009

American Obsessions - Larry Lytle

American Obsessions - Larry Lytle

Over the past 8 years Larry Lytle has used "action figures" such as Barbie ™, Ken™ and G. I. Joe™ as well as others to create scenarios and dioramas that explore political and social issues. In this new series titled, American Obsession, Lytle is using the small parts, shoes, guns, and food that come with the figures to explore consumerism and obsession in his typical humorous approach.

Handmade is the first venue to show this new work. It will be displayed in the front window as well as the small gallery in the back of the store, please join us at the opening of this new and exciting work.
