Where To Find Makers On Hudson This Weekend

Susan Digilio: Artist of the Month

 

This Saturday at ReMADE Handmade Boutique, 133 Main Street, Beacon NY, you will have the opportunity to meet one of our long time, very gifted members, Sue of DigilioDesigns. You are probably familiar with some of Sue's work from this blog and from seeing her beautiful things at local shows, but this time, she will be presenting the original art that inspired many of her designs. You'll enjoy being able to linger over these one-of-a-kind pieces, discovering all the details. Sue even uses gold leaf and mica, as well as beeswax, in some of her original work! 

The show opens on Saturday, August 12 from 6 - 8PM, and runs for the rest of the month. It's also Second Saturday in Beacon, so there will be lots to explore. This would be the perfect time to take a trip to Beacon, enjoy a glass of wine, some conversation and grab the opportunity to own one of Sue's originals. Here's a link to the shop: ReMADE

Sweet words from one of our most beloved poets capture the fleeting nature of summer days perfectly. It's time to experience and explore all the Valley has to offer while summer is in full bloom. Outdoor markets are a great way to enjoy a lovely summer day. Plan a day trip to The Makers' Market in the beautiful village of Warwick, N.Y. where You can meet Sue, from Digilio Designs.  Sue's nature inspired work pairs beautifully with Ms. Dickinson's words.
