Spring Market Artisan Profile: Walden Sweet Design

We love to make pretty things. We love to screen print. What could be better than that.

"I took a shower washing every body part with actual soap; including all my major crevices; including in between my toes and in my belly button, which I never did before but sort of enjoyed. I washed my hair with adult formula shampoo and used cream rinse for that just washed shine. I can't seem to find my toothbrush, so I'll pick one up when I go out today. Other than that, I'm in good shape."

-quote from the film Home Alone

Winter Wonders Artisan Profile - Walden Sweet

On the move! Over the past few months Walden Sweet has been busy looking for a new studio to print out of and contributing to the ever inspiring group Flock and Gather Craft Collective.

Dana Mastel and Wayne Jorgenson of Walden Sweet are some of the hard working folks behind flock and gather and we certainly hope they find a studio space soon so that we can continue to see their amazing artwork at f & g events. In the meantime here is a sneak peak of new works in progress.



Make sure to stop by and say hi to these amazing guys at the market this weekend!

Where to find us next:

We're taking this show on the road!

The Saskatoon community has been treating us so well, such great support, that flock and gather have decided to spread their wings for a little trip down to Regina later this month for the Cathedral Village Arts Festival on Saturday May 28th - one day only!!!

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.

Artist Profile: Chelley Rae

And last but never least - since you can never have too much cuteness at a f&g market we are pleased to welcome Chelley Rae's collection to the event.


In her words:

I Grew up in a home where, creating art was important, It was how my mother made her living. We had a Ceramic/Art studio in the basement of our home. I began selling my hand crafted items about 18 years ago in a shop that my mom owned for 13 years, she has now retired........but I still felt the need to create so about 2 years ago I created ChellyRae. Over the years I have worked with many different types of materials, Ceramic, clay, floral, wood, paint........my current obsession is Felt and Fabrics! I love to create and I create what I love!

I currently live in Saskatoon with my husband and two daughters (who also love to create art)

In addition to creating art.... I also work part time as an Educational Assistant.
