Plus, one of Clementine's owners, Winston--will be providing recipes that will help nerds like me to know how to properly cook different cuts of meat! Yippee, sign me up! Click here for more info!

Inside the Crafter's Studio

As we are counting down the final days, hours (so close, so close!) to Holiday Heap, we mafia members thought our shoppers and fellow vendors might appreciate a glimpse into the madness of our studios. This show is certainly the highlight of our year, and no amount of paper, thread, paint, or ink will keep us from celebrating the handmade with everyone!

Personally, I take a little comfort in knowing that my workspace isn't the only one out there that looks like a tornado has gone through it. Offcuts, glue pots, who needs em! Process does not impede work; seeing how other creative folks craft can also be so inspiring.

Cotton Monsters greet the world in the lovely studio above. Below, you can sneak a glimpse of prints and paintings in progress from Found Studio, followed by a well-lit but unintentionally collaged book-making space from Phampersand Press.

Just another day of wading through our crafty avalanches, and then it'll be time to celebrate the handmade season. See you Saturday!

Do you have anything new that shoppers can look forward to?

I'm VERY excited to be premiering two new fabric games--- super soft, portable & guaranteed to entertain little hands and minds for a long time (or at least long enough to let you get dinner started or go to the bathroom by yourself... which is all any of us can ask for!).

Meet Holiday Heap Vendor, Holland Cox

List your shop name and give a brief description of your work and process.

Holland Cox (www.hollandcox.com). I design and make by hand fabric fashion accessories for people who make their own rules! I love using fabric rather than leather because of the endless possibilities of combining color and pattern. All my handbags are one-of-a-kind.

Where do you find inspiration?

I am inspired by the individuals I see who make an effort to put together their own look. My customers don't like looking like everybody else, and are not inspired by shopping at the mall. Bright color and bold patterns thrill me, and finding ways to create accessories that are stylish and sophisticated but still *fun* is what I love the most!

Do you have anything new that shoppers can look forward to?

I have new belts in several widths that are perfect ways to put your personal spin on any outfit, even boring work-appropriate ones.

Meet Holiday Heap Vendor, Articipe

List your shop name and give a brief description of your work and process.

Articipe (art + recipe = articipe) I create hand lettered recipe prints to decorate your kitchen or any little nook in your home. They make great gifts to any cook in your life and are also a great way to memorialize Grandma's best recipes for the whole family. When I make the prints, I hand draw each letterform on my computer with the help of my trusty tablet. The fun part is that I never know how a print will turn out until I'm done. I have to play around with the type and words to get everything to feel just right or convey the right idea, and am always surprised with the results!

What is your favorite holiday tradition?

My favorite holiday tradition is cooking! Go figure. I love cooking at any time, but around the holidays there is just something extra special in the air that makes it so much for fun to cook for people I love.

I can also be found online at Etsy.com: etsy.com/shop/articipe

Meet Holiday Heap Vendor, Catherinette by Katie Stack

List your shop name and give a brief description of your work and process.

My name is Katie Stack and I am the owner and maker of Catherinette by Katie Stack. Because my pieces are made of cast off remnants from the garment and accessory industry (and therefore the pieces I get are sometimes odd shapes and very small pieces) I often have to stare at a piece of leather for a few days before I am ready to cut into it.

Where do you find inspiration?

When I am deciding what I want to make I think of my own life as a person who commutes for 3+ hours a day to my day job is as a costume craftsperson and milliner for a large Shakespeare theatre. I ask myself what might make that commute easier and a little more fashionable? can I fit a book, a laptop, and a bottle of water into that bag? Will this look nice as a wallet and a clutch bag? Would I carry that bag for more than one season? Since I am often surrounded at my day job with European military research many of my designs reference those classic and utilitarian details- nice topstitching, riveted corners, double buckles, an open body of the bag so it can be used for many purposes etc.

Do you have anything new that shoppers can look forward to?

This season I am working on pieces that are affordable (around $20-$40), useful- belt clips for transit cards, different wallet styles, and fun! No one has a ton of expendable income right now, so I think it is nice to spend that money on something that will make you smile.

Other than Holiday Heap, where can we find you for purchases?

My work can be found in a few locations. Most notably on etsy.com at www.Catherinette.etsy.com at ArtSpring in Takoma Park and at www.Lovefeasttable.com

What is your favorite holiday tradition?

Eating good food with my family.

What is your favorite thing about Baltimore during the holiday season?

I'm new to Baltimore, so I'm looking forward to discovering the city during the holidays.

Do you have anything new that shoppers can look forward to?

I'm debuting some new sculptural work.

I love cooking in the kitchen all day with family to make Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner- any excuse to be warm and cozy and come up with elaborate dishes (probably with cheese or cream..) together.

Meet Holiday Heap Vendor, Dandelion Blu

List your shop name and give a brief description of your work and process.
"Dandelion Blu" is a handmade jewelry studio specializing in kiln fired enameling and metal smithing. I like the combination of glass on metal and the opportunity to include color and images into my pieces.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration from a simple lifestyle, in which the environmental and social impact of the items we acquire is carefully considered.

Simply styled in a variety of colors, Wooly Baby slippers are available in newborn through adult sizes.

Where do you find inspiration?

Having my daughter was my initial inspiration to quit my corporate day job and figure out something that I could do at home with her. My design inspiration comes from vintage clothes and shoes and the designs in the sweaters that I find. I am inspired to use only recycled materials when I learn about the astonishing amount of trash (and used clothing in particular) that this country creates. My inspiration to grow and improve my business comes from my background as an industrial engineer and also from my finance-minded husband. And finally, my customers are wonderful inspiration and support; without them would not exist!
