Fall Focus

I'm excited to share that beginning in August, I'll be learning more about jewelry design and fabrication from Roger Mathews. I briefly met him last Christmas when I bought glass from his shop. It was in his glass shop and from one of his employees that I discovered he is also a jewelry designer and teacher.

If you like the best tacos in Wichita, you've no doubt seen his gallery, his work; he's right next door to Taco Shop on East Central. I found this image and this image online. Look familiar?

I wanted to let you know my plans because this means I won't be participating in any shows this fall, or taking any custom orders. Many of you are loyal customers, especially during the giving season, so I wanted to communicate my direction plenty early.

If you are interested in giving personal, locally hand crafted gift items, you might check out the affordable items in Mr. Mathews' gallery/store at 4902 E Central. Then there's also the Wichita Etsy group I almost joined (lack of time has thus far prohibited it) that has local parking lot sales every now and then. I'm certain there will also be great vendors at Market Square and Hillsboro, again.

I'm still evaluating/deciding if I'll blog or list any items to Etsy during this time. Of course I want to do both, but I'm not sure I'll have time. Even if I did find the time to blog and list, I'm concerned it would distract me from what I've set out to focus on during this time. If you'll give me this time out, I'm sure I'll be able to serve you better in the future. I'm super excited to hone my skills and learn how to better fabricate your visions, and the visions in my head/sketchbook. Thanks!
