Nature-Dyed Scarves

Bold, unique necklaces created from ancient, hand-formed, ethnic and unusual beads from all over the world. It’s all about the beads!

My landscape work is based on an area north of Chicago called
Skokie Lagoons. My paintings are created from photos taken
on hikes, random bike jaunts, kayaking, and from the window
of my car. My inspiration is the many moods of the different
seasons and the light and shadow that I find in my outings.

Furniture maker Richard Judd creates minimalist, functional sculptures bending birch plywood and high figure veneer. He will demonstrate his original parquetry surface decoration techniques using contrasting colors and wood grains.

Kae will display linen batiks at all stages, from conception of the original drawing to wax removal. A variety of demonstrations will occur each day.
