Spring Market Vendor Profile: Shauna Buck

We're excited for some new items and directions!  New screen printed wood coasters featuring 8 different domestic woods and designs are definitely our new love! Perfect for cabins or man-caves, or even just to have a little of our great Canadian outdoors in! :) Also, hand-built recipe boxes made from the leg lumber of Saskatchewan grain elevators and featuring the first of several designs to come are also here in limited quantities.  And finally, the first of our new letterpress prints under the banner of Backyard Letterpress and Paper Co will be making their appearance! Spring Bears and the oh so fun BBQ Shark make a come back in new sumptuous letterpress on 100% Cotton paper.  So many fun things for spring!

Big Big Thanks to our vendors, volunteers, and customers! 

This city loves handmade, and we love you!

More pics of Winter Wonders coming soon. 

Oh happy day indeed!

 

So contrary to the very serious faces you see here, the f&g crew have been having a great time lately getting the ball rolling for our upcoming Winter Wonders Handmade Market. I know it's still warm out and the leaves haven't fallen yet, but we can't help but think of the holidays and of all the wonderful local indie craft we're going to be bringing you at this year's market.

We've been putting our heads together to work on decorations, participant lists, and a few little surprises as well. Needless to say this will be our best market yet! Over the next few weeks stay tuned for some other fun events leading up to the sale, like a long overdue craft night, a collaboration with the Saskatchewan Craft Council and another coffee night. 

Oh yah and soon the blog will be filled to the brim with artisan profiles not to be missed to wet your appetite for the market and so that you can start on your wishlist early : ) Until then here's a sneak peek into the lovely Shauna Buck's studio. She's got an amazing new press which was a sight to be seen and we even got a wee little peek at this year's Winter Wonders poster! It's a gorgeously adorable illustration of.....no wait, you'll just have to wait and see for yourself!

Shauna has not only a garage studio, but also an amazingly organized office studio in her house. It was filled to the brim with inspiration. 

Shauna's going to have some lovely handpainted pieces like the ones below at the sale, but you know these won't last long so make sure to grab them while you can.

More to come so stay tuned....

Shauna Buck and Walden Sweet rock the new poster!

I immediately fell in love with Erin's gorgeous poster for our February sale, it was so exciting to see it up around town everywhere. And now it's time to keep your eyes peeled for our April's Market poster. Shauna rocked with the design on this one, so gorgeous, so spring. And thanks to Walden Sweet for all the printing tech. All I can say is wow!


And a few words from Walden Sweet:
There is nothing quite like a hand printed poster. We took a few photos while we were printing the posters today. Shauna Buck's lovely design was perfectly suited to screen printing. Keep an eye out for them all over town this week! A very limited number of posters will be made available for purchase at the market if you would like a collectible from the event. We hope to see you next Saturday.
