New Work!
We love when we discover new artisans whose work we can then share with our customers. Our fair state has a lot of creative talent! Below you can read about two of our newest exhibitors. We hope you love their work as much as we do!
Chester artist Mary Teichman has been printmaking for more than forty years. Her prints are made using linoleum cutting and etching techniques.
Mary loves the unpredictability of the medium and seeing how the image changes throughout the process. “My color etchings are triggered by things I observe: a color or texture, a slant of light - especially those that evoke memories."
In addition to being a printmaker, Mary has illustrated children’s books and is a talented calligrapher.
Gina Petteys' jewelry designs are often inspired by nature. "I give a blank metal canvas new texture, color and form with an organic feel."
A native Vermonter, Gina uses various techniques to create her intriguing surfaces and patinas, and often highlights the inherent qualities of the metals used. She feels that each piece of jewelry she makes informs the piece that comes after it.
Gina's home studio in the woods is located in Morrisville, VT.
