𝗠𝗶𝘆𝗮 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 of 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗲 just dropped off a fresh batch of work today and we were so excited to see these new origami ornaments. Miya invented this fold herself - it's a real champ (yeah, we did that)!

Don't know about Champ? Here's the backstory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champ_(folklore)

We only have three of these guys in stock and they're all made with different patterned papers, so come get one while they're here!

We're so excited to introduce our newest neighbors to you - Tree #1 and Tree #2!

We've been waiting for a few weeks for their arrival and let us tell you, they are spectacular.

Tree #1 is a plane tree and it's definitely not a plane. It isn't a maple either, although its leaves are similar in appearance. Tree #2 is an elm, but it's not on Elm Street. It's on Main Street where our gallery is located, silly.

The next time you're downtown, be sure to visit our friends and give them a warm welcome to Montpelier. A hug would likely be appreciated, this being Vermont and all.

If you missed this month's Art Walk and think it's too late to check out Fairfax artist 𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗩𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲's work, 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙢𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚𝙣!

Nicole is our Featured Artist for the whole month of August and you can find her work smack dab in the middle of the gallery. She likes to dabble in many different mediums and has recently started an exploration of three-dimensional space through the medium of collage using construction scraps combined with monoprints and natural elements.

Her work is both impossible to miss and shouldn't be missed - any day this month can be your very own art walk, so come on down to Artisans Hand!

We have been invaded by the Jean Meinhardt vase battalion! Everyone take cover (𝘰𝘳 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴)!

Montpelier Art Walk is happening now!

We’ve got artist Nicole Vance’s work in the gallery and she’s outside facilitating a hands-on project. Make a collage and trade for one on the board - it’s community art!

We’re open until 7:00, so come by and get creative!

Thanks so much to all of you who voted for us. It shows us that you believe what we do - that handmade craft is has value. That the skilled and passionate artisans in Vermont who make this work are important.

Calling all Laura Zindel Design fans - we just started carrying new items at the gallery that just might be (or hold) your cup of tea!

We added bistro plates and cups, which means that you can now eat and drink in smaller quantities whenever you like.

Bistro plates measure 7.25", which is perfect the perfect size for your morning muffin or afternoon apple. Bistro cups measure 3.5" and hold 7 ounces of liquid - mmm...juice...

We've got these cuties in your favorite designs, so come downtown and add to your set (or start one)!

Laura Zindel Design is located in Brattleboro, Vermont.
