OCTOBER SHOW STARTS TOMORROW!
|
Guest Artists:
ARTIE YELLOWHORSE (NAVAJO) and TERRILL HOOPER O'BRIEN (MOHAWK) OCTOBER 14- 15, 2016 (Friday and Saturday!)
We welcome Artie Yellowhorse and Terry O'Brien and invite you to come in and meet and greet, even just to say hello and model your own pieces! Artie and Terry both love to see and talk with everyone and we're sure you will have a grand time! We expect a great selection of their latest creations and it's definitely a fantastic opportunity to add another piece for you or someone else who's special.
Artie Yellowhorse's
family is renowned for their quality in craftsmanship, their distinctive, signature designs and the development of a successful American Indian handmade jewelry business. Using a wide variety of stones and materials in their work, their long dedication to art of jewelry is evidenced in the fabrication of each piece. The silversmith tradition began with Artie's grandfather, Cuthair Yellowhorse, who worked primarily in turquoise and silver. While known today for the "Rising Sun" designs, their timeless jewlery can be thought of as heritage artwork and can be worn nearly every day and for any event. Specializing in sterling silver and American turquoise, the Yellowhorse family also uses materials as diverse as lapis, spiny oyster shell, petrified wood, and pearls.

| Artie Yellowhorse arrives tomorrow! |
The Yellowhorse family takes joyful pride in continuing a legacy of bringing beauty to people and helping them to understand the Navajo concept of Walk with Beauty.
We also welcome back Terry O'Brien (Mohawk) who will share her beading techniques, her latest in beaded amulet bag necklaces... and of course her stories that light up the room! Stories include her travels and the special people she meets along the way, and also the insights and inspiration that seem to be never-ending and infuse each and every bag she designs and creates. Terry has named and numbered every bag she has made and she is now well over the 600s in bag creation. In every 50th bag, she includes a strawberry theme in honor of the traditional strawberry ceremonies and festivals of her Mohawk Nation.
We are also so honored and excited to be showcasing Terry's daugher's beaded pouch necklaces, joining in on this family tradition while having a full time career and raising a family too! We first featured Sherill Givens' beadwork during our spring 2016 show and it has been very well-received! Sherrill is 'in her teens' of numbering her bags which is so exciting to us to be among the first to have them. We hope to have some of Sherrill's new pieces during Terry's artist visit
Please join us in welcoming Artie Yellowhorse and Terry O'Brien on
Friday and Saturday, October 14th and 15th from 12 p.m. - 4 p.m.
