Gary Olds, fine crafts
Hailing from a small village in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, an area of lakes and forests, rich in minerals, Gary combines interests in ceramics, textiles, fibers, wood, and metal to create a variety of fine crafts often in homage to his underground copper mining heritage. For examples of his work visit his website at www.garyolds.com or on Facebook at Gary Olds, Art of Mine.
Patti Bealer, Hand crafter
Patti has her hands in many areas. She started as a quilter and spinner and soap maker, then moved on to sewing and leather and other fiber arts. She is mostly a master of none, but has so much fun doing all those things.
Mary Papp
Mary refurbishes dolls. She will clean them up, repair them, and sew new clothes. Sometimes making them look better than new. You can find her Etsy shop here: www.etsy/shop/maryment.
