Makers-on-Hudson will be enjoying the beautiful weather at two very different events this weekend. If you love The Renaissance era, then hasten thee to Altamont, N.Y. near Albany, on Saturday and Sunday for the NY Capitol District Renaissance Festival . There you can partake in all the festivities, and also meet Dara, from Dara Gallery, purveyor of beautiful, handmade masks and accessories. Dara uses both paper mache and leather to create her gorgeous masks, eye patches and hair accessories for men and women
