What's New

Spring Shows!

Here is the awaited list of upcoming shows with additional information (address, time, etc.) below:

April 22: Brookside Gardens Earth Day Craft Fair, Wheaton, MD
May 6: Clover Market, Ardmore, PA
May 12: Picklefest, Dillsburg, PA

Brookside Gardens Earth Day Craft Fair will run from 12-4 at 1800 Glenallan Ave, Wheaton, MD. This show will be our first out-of-state trip for the season to Maryland for Earth Day at a special show wherein each of the few vendors must have a product that is reused, recycled, upcycled, responsibly harvested, organic, plant related or sustainable and produced within 150miles of the Gardens. It’s a neat way to spend Earth Day, not to mention lovely grounds for a walk.

Clover Market: If you missed us in the Philly area last Sunday, fret not! We will be back for Clover Market in May. The show has updated its hours to 10:00AM to 5:00PM. Clover market is a fabulous collection of chic housewares, revived vintage accessories and inventive artists all concentrated together for three days this Spring. Metalledwith will be there for two of the three. The Market is held in the Schauffele Plaza parking lot (Municipal Lot #6) at 12 E. Lancaster Avenue in Ardmore, PA.  The lot sits just between Cricket Avenue and Rittenhouse Place.

Picklefest: Due to the artist’s recent appreciation for pickles and to show some pride for her husband’s hometown, metalledwith is returning to Picklefest this year. It is a small town fair complete with a pickle-eating contest. This show supports the volunteer crew of Dillsburg’s Citizens Hose Company #1. The Picklefest Street Fair takes place from 8:00-3:00 along Greenbrier Lane in Dillsburg.

In addition to these shows, metalledwith still has some items to peruse at any time through the end of April at Moxy Day Spa in Camp Hill.

Have you attended a great show where metalledwith would be a good fit? Use the contact form to let us know about it. We’re still filling in the schedule, but for a sneak peek, the next shows will include the always lovely Foundry Day on June 2 in Boiling Springs. Then keeping with the theme of Springs in Spring, metalledwith is taking it to the road and traveling to Ohio for the Yellow Springs Street Fair on June 9.

“Artist in Action” Demonstration in Boiling Springs

Today is the big day! Notice has been posted to FaceBook, Twitter and via the new email list (subscribe button coming soon) about today’s event.

You can find metalledwith in action at The Village Artisans Gallery in Boiling Springs this afternoon, from 1:00-4:00 PM.

I’ve promised not to bring fire, but there will be plenty to work on that doesn’t require it. It’s also a great chance to meet the artist (and for the artist to meet the clients)!

In other news, April Shows include the following, so far:

April 12: Clover Market in Ardmore, PA
April 22: Earth Day at Brookside Gardens in  Wheaton, MD

Craft Reunion and the workshop is moving!

In the nick of time, we will have one more show this year! metalledwith was invited by the Third Street Potters to their annual Craft Reunion that takes place at Fort Hunter. Not only is Fort Hunter a great place to explore but this event is said to feel more like a true reunion than a sale. metalledwith’s work will be among the collected local artists who will have work on display. We will not be there in person (except during a drop in as a customer), but can be reached via the contact page on this site.

Where: Fort Hunter Centennial Barn (about 5 mi north of downtown on North Front Street, Harrisburg)
When: Friday, December 2, 12-9
Saturday, December 3, 10-8
Sunday, December 4, 11-5

metalledwith does not plan on additional events to take place in 2011 at this time, but will begin thinking about shows in 2012. If you have visited a show that we may be a good fit for, please contact us. We’re moving the workshop and will be taking some time off (after custom holiday orders have been completed) during the cold months to regroup and set up the new site in Boiling Springs, PA. We are no longer accepting orders in time for Christmas, but please keep us in mind for future gifts! It’s been a great year and we look forward to 2012!

November Events

The following two events will take place at the Historic Harrisburg Association Building, 1230 N. 3rd Street, Harrisburg. This is the brownstone building on the corner of 3rd & Verbeke and across from the Broad Street Market.

November 11-13: Midtown Scholar Harrisburg Book Festival. Metalledwith will be teaming up with The Hodgepodgery. Find our wares among their collection.

November 19: Mantis Collective’s Oddones Bizarre. 11:00 AM- 5:00 PM. This alternative craft fair will have you delighting in the creativity of Harrisburgianites, or whatever it is that they call the midtown crowd (+ groupies like mw). Metalledwith will have a booth at this event (and it’ll be the last time for 2011)! This is a perfect opportunity to chat about possibilities of what can be created before the year comes to a close.

Also on November 19 will be Serendipity on the Circle’s Grand Opening in New Oxford (see location info on Where to Buy page). It was postponed due to the freak snowstorm that also canceled the Yellow Breeches Chapter of the PA Guild of Craftsmen’s Fall into Fine Craft event.

Two events this week

The Farmers Market in Hershey will be holding its LAST market of the season on Thursday. October 27 from 3-6PM outside the Cocoa Beanery in Hummelstown, PA. Let’s give it a last hurrah (then quickly bundle up and find some nice fireplace to sit by)!

Fall Into Fine Craft wil be taking place Saturday, October 29 from 10:00AM-6:00PM at the Silver Spring Township Building off of the Carlisle Pike in Mechanicsburg (enter from Maple Drive by the Kwik Fill). You can’t get more local with fine art as these fine craftsmen are members of the Yellow Breeches Chapter of the PA Guild of Craftsmen. The Chapter covers both the east and west shores of the Susquehanna River. This is local talent at its best. Metalledwith will be a part of the Boutique.

We’ll have only one or two events in November as we wind down for season. Thinking of a special gift for a special someone over the holidays? Requests and orders are being taken now! Our workshop is on the move, literally, as home base is changing locations. We’ll be accepting a limited amount of special requests during this time–the earlier, the better!

October Schedule

There’s one more event to add to the remaining days of September: We’ll be at the good ole Farmers Market in Hershey this Thursday, September 29th.

October is almost here! We’re starting it off with a bang at the Downingtown Fall Fest, presented by Victory Brewing Company on October 2nd. We’ll be at the Farmers Market in Hershey twice in October, including their last market of the season. We’re making another appearance in the Philly area and close off the month with a purely local gathering that I’ll highly recommend. The Fall into Fine Craft Fair is put on by the Yellow Breeches Chapter of the PA Guild of Craftsmen. It includes artists from the Mechanicsburg, Carlisle, Boiling Springs, Dillsburg and Harrisburg areas. Since I can call myself a resident of all of these towns at one time or another, it pretty well defines “home turf.” You can’t get more local with fine art. It’ll be located at the Silver Spring Township Building in Mechanicsburg (enter via Maple Drive at the Kwik Fill). Metalledwith will be a part of the Boutique. Come see the local talent–one of these artists could even be a neighbor!

October 2: Downingtown Fall Fest, Downingtown, PA
October 13: Farmers Market in Hershey, Hummelstown, PA
October 16: Clover Market, Ardmore, PA
October 27: Farmers Market in Hershey, Hummelstown, PA
October 29: Fall into Fine Craft, Mechanicsburg, PA

Farmers Market in Hershey: Thursdays 3-7 outside of the Cocoa Beanery located at 1215 Research Blvd, Hummelstown, PA. Plenty of fresh produce available that I can only mimic in copper. This is the best place to discuss custom pieces where we can plan together, face to face.

Clover Market: Sunday, 9/18 10:00-4:00 in Ardmore, PA. We’re coming to the greater Philly area! Clover market is a fabulous collection of chic housewares, revived vintage accessories and inventive artists all concentrated together for three days this fall. Metalledwith will be there for two of the three. The Market is held in the Schauffele Plaza parking lot (Municipal Lot #6) at12 E. Lancaster Avenue in Ardmore, PA.  The lot sits just between Cricket Avenue and Rittenhouse Place.

Harvest of the Arts: Saturday, 9/24 from 10:00-4:00 in Carlisle. This is the 30th Annual Harvest of the Arts Festival. This event is set up on West High Street. Exhibitor booths will be set up in the middle of the street for this event. When metalledwith’s exact location is determined, we’ll update here or on our Facebook Page.

Mount Gretna Outdoor Art Show

The art show is this weekend! The show runs 9-6 Saturday and 9-5 Sunday. metalledwith is an emerging artist at this event and couldn’t be more thrilled about it.

You’ll see updated photos of some of the feature pieces that will be at the show on the custom jewelry page or on the facebook page (a good place to follow if you like frequent photos of in progress and finished works). Still, I thought I’d throw them in this post as well. 

Hope this is enticing enough to make the trip out if you’re in the greater Harrisburg area.

Last weekend was the Englewood Arts Festival and the people there are so kind, we couldn’t have had a finer time! Thanks good people of Ohio!
