STAINED GLASS BY KALEIGH
STAINED GLASS BY KALEIGH stained glass suncatchers with 90-100% recycled or found materials Meet The Maker WHO ARE YOU, WHERE ARE YOU FROM, & WHAT DO YOU DO?Hi, all! I’m Kaleigh. I was born and raised in Maryland but, as an Army vet, I’ve lived all over the country. I recently transplanted to Grovetown, GA from Boulder, CO in May 2023. By day, I work full time as a Marriage and Family Therapist. By night, along with all of my other crafty hobbies, I make stained glass pieces out of my home office/garage. I’ve been working with glass for about a year. DESCRIBE YOUR PROCESS.I believe myself to be pretty eco-conscious and I make every effort to ensure all of the crafting I do, not just glass, is done in conscious way. Because glass is made from sand and sand is not a renewable resource, I don’t purchase newly manufactured glass in order to lessen my environmental impact in the arts and craft world. This means that all of my pieces are made with 100% recycled/reused/discarded glass, and 90-100% recycled, reused, or found materials. This also means that every piece is 100% unique and, when I run out and can’t find anymore recycled glass, I can’t make anything else! WHAT INSPIRES YOU?Color. I love to wear neutrals or all black, but my home and the art that I gravitate to is full of color. The vibrance of colorful glass is really what gravitates me to work with this material. FUN FACT ABOUT YOU.I was a beekeeper when I lived in Colorado! FAVORITE THING ABOUT DOWNTOWN AUGUSTA.Nightlife, appreciation of arts & culture. WHY DO YOU LOVE TO DESIGN, CREATE + MAKE?I am a finished product type of person. With the majority of my life and work, I have to trust the process and follow through with things not knowing what the end state will be, or if there will even be an end/resolution. With making, I get to define what “done” means and looks like, and that’s incredibly satisfying. WHAT IS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD SHARE WITH OTHER ARTISTS + MAKERS?Don’t worry about starting over. I’ve ripped apart projects that were almost finished because I wasn’t happy with how they were turning out. Very rarely does pushing through, settling, or “grinning and bearing it” produce fruitful results. Truly, this applies to making and life in general. All of my pieces are priced on set sliding scale (price range provided in my booth), no questions asked model. I truly believe that makers should be paid what they’re worth AND folks should have access to pretty things. I’ve tried to strike that balance with my sliding scale in the best way I could. I also have a “recycle” program with the intent to keep art and usable materials out of the landfill. If you ever get tired of the piece you purchased (I mean, we’ve all gotten tired of something after we bought it, haven’t we?), you can return it to me in its original condition and get a discount on another item/custom piece (based on availability of glass, of course).

WOODS WITCH WEARS
WOODS WITCH WEARS handmade pine needles baskets Jodiosborn.com Meet The Maker WHO ARE YOU, WHERE ARE YOU FROM, & WHAT DO YOU DO?I moved to Columbia SC in 1995 and then to North Augusta SC in 2005. I am a nurse, a reiki master, a meditation teacher and an artist. My art is inspired by what I see hiking on local trails. I make dream catchers, pine needle baskets, witch bells and intention dolls. DESCRIBE YOUR PROCESS.I gather pine needles while hiking; only the best needles will do! I seal them in vegetable glycerin and let them dry. I use waxed cord and a darning needle to hand stitch the basket together. The process can take a few hours to several days depending on how large or detailed the basket is. WHAT INSPIRES YOU?Nature! FUN FACT ABOUT YOU.I ride a motorcycle and you can find me and my Beloved at local DT Augusta spots enjoying the many excellent restaurants! FAVORITE THING ABOUT DOWNTOWN AUGUSTA.The restaurants!

VITAL WOODWORKS
VITAL WOODWORKS handmade wood housewares + gifts @vitalwoodwork Meet The Artist WHO ARE YOU, WHERE ARE YOU FROM, & WHAT DO YOU DO?I’m a relatively new woodworker and full-time Occupational Therapist. Originally from West Virginia, I’ve lived in Augusta for 32 years. DESCRIBE YOUR PROCESS.I enjoy using both hand tools and modern power tools. I often see the shape of the finished product in the natural wood I’m working with. Many of my pieces are made for use in home music studios and are made from poplar wood. I suntan the poplar to help darken and enhance the natural grain of the wood. WHAT INSPIRES YOU?I am inspired by the shapes and colors found in nature. I love wood with lots of knots, grain, pattern and even things that some might consider defects. FUN FACT ABOUT YOU.I’m a drummer and love kayaking. FAVORITE THING ABOUT DOWNTOWN AUGUSTA.The interesting old buildings that are being renovated and repurposed. WHY DO YOU LOVE TO DESIGN, CREATE + MAKE?I believe God has given everyone a creative desire and the ability to appreciate beauty. It’s wonderful to make something beautiful or functional for people to use and enjoy. WHAT IS ONE PIECE OF ADVICE YOU WOULD SHARE WITH OTHER ARTISTS + MAKERS?Don’t be afraid to make what you like. You don’t need to do what others are doing (unless that’s what you like to make). RETURN TO VENDOR PAGE
