Bracelet Bag!

 

Jewelry + purse makes big hit!

by Dowse

 

 Dowse Bags

Our customers can't get enough of this clever little bag.  It's just the right size for essentials and keeps you from toting those enormous handbags when going out.
We are finding that all ages of women are carrying them, so what a great gift idea!  They are made out of vintage upholstery fabric and come in 22 different color ways.  This could help you with many names on your shopping list!
They are only $48. 

 

  

American Craft Week a success!

  

Held Oct 1-10 across the Nation

  

 Glorius American Crafts

The first National American Craft Week proved a success for promoting the awareness of American craft art as objects for everyday living.
 
Hanson Galleries was proud to serve on the National founding board to bring about this celebration in order to keep jobs in the USA for our craftspeople, galleries and stores open who sell the work and education flowing for continued awareness of the role of crafts to our American heritage.
 

Two juried artists shows created excitement

 

 

"Spotlight on Clay"

 

Clay Houston Demo2010

Our first promotion involved a juried show and sale of clay artwork from 27 ClayHouston artists.  They were challenged by the jury to dream and stretch with their discipline and so some very unique work was exhibited.  The opening party was very well attended,  jurors' awards were announced and the energy flowed.



"Spotlight on Metal"
 
Houston Metal Artists Guild created our next excitement of the week with their opening on Oct 8th.  Their show and sale involved 26 artists offering exciting new jewelry, tabletop items and sculpture.  Jurors' awards were given out while a stream of interested attendees munched and networked.
