Grants
Pass Arts & Crafts Market slideshow!
<<Actually,
I must have posted a good half dozen more of these Artisan
Market slideshows online, with pictures taken on various
Saturdays throughout 2007 and 2008 (and I think maybe one from
2006...) I hope Google is keeping track because I'm
starting to lose it. Looking at the others currently
linked into the Rogue Planet Internet Arts network, however, I
notice that I've focused mostly on the artists/painters who
exhibit along The Wall (which hardly seems fair, but yes, I'm
probably biased because I'm one of them...) Today
I took a few photos along The Wall, but tried to stick mostly to
the booths on fifth street, where a few more painters can also
be found, but also some really fantastic craft items. If
you haven't been down here yet, we're here on Fifth Street in
downtown Grants Pass, between F & E Streets in the block
adjacent to the Growers' Market which happens concurrently:
Saturdays from 9am to 1pm. The Growers' Market continues
through Thanksgiving, but the Artisans and Crafters usually fold
up in October, when the rain becomes a nuisance and worse.

Among
the treasures available for purchase: Hand
crafted wooden chess sets, wooden flutes (okay, technically they're called
"recorders," but I can't figure out where to insert the
tape...), carved knotheads, bauble trees, concrete garden statues,
strange little pilings of teapots and plates (someday I'll have to get
the Garden Gypsies' story on that...), birdhouses, artsy
hose & tool holders, handmade kaleidoscopes, and some very cool custom furniture!
Look!
This week we even had Medora Nankervis, sketching alongside her apprentice, Ariel
Cathcart.
The
only member of the paparazzi present on this day, I also felt duty bound
to get a few shots of R. Samuel Santi (currently the featured artist on
display at Harper & Howell), along with another photo featuring about half
of the
art he brought with him this day (if you wanted to see it all you should
have been there!)
Also
included in this lineup is a photo of a recent painting by Peace, which
is an odd abstract sort of thing and perhaps indicative of a new
direction in his work.
