Mellwood is a very large facility with lots of nooks and crannies so I like to stroll through ever so often to see who has moved out, who is still there, and who is new. My hallway is nearly full and I love the energy that creates, but I swooned when I saw these 3 new studios all clustered together and around the corner from me...
Is it possible a textile mecca is on the horizon?!
Yesterday's first Demo Saturday was held at Mellwood. Myself and 4 other artists sat out in the court yard and, well, demo'ed. I found my silk roving and supplies at the 25th hour so I was able to demo that. The strollers were on the lite side but it was fun to socialize and get to know more about the artist that participated. And Robbie Moriarty, who has been there 6 years, is closing her doors due to having too much work and not enough manpower. Her shop is 50% off retail and open on Saturdays until closing.
What a great place to hang out.
