This holiday season, you will be thinking about those special friends, aunts, sisters, daughters, and co-workers who are almost always daunting to shop for.  How about buying them a one-of-a-kind work of art?

This Saturday, December 6th, we will be hosting the annual Fine Craft Sale. Featuring over 20 artists, items available will range from accessories like jewelry and scarves to household items like pottery and wall hangings. There are always items available for as little as $5-10. While you shop, enjoy the holiday atmosphere with some free cookies and hot cider.
 
In the theatre, artists will be presenting demonstrations on various glass methods. At 11 a.m., Pat Kearney will demonstrate how to cut the glass and assemble the elements over the fiber blanket shapes and add hooks for hanging. At 2 p.m. Judi Hartman will demonstrate impressionist-like techniques of using colored glass, glass chips and powders to create depth, relief and shape used in glass fusion. These demos are free and are meant for both children and adults to enjoy!
 
Artists in the Fine Crafts Sale include: Sandy Amazeen, Margaret Anderson, Jason Bohnert, Cathi Borthwick, Robin Cadigan, James Coquia, Gary Dunn, Katherine Farr, Amy Fleming, Pat Kearney, Sonja London-Hall, Sharon McGuiness, Karen Myers, Don Nord, Martha Pahler, Kathy Pease, Sharon Richards, Chandra Robinson, Lynn Rovelstad, Alex Achoenfeld, Gretchen Smith, and Kate Watters.

Following up on the success of the first Navajo Rug Auction in Flagstaff in decades this past June, Flagstaff Cultural Partners and the Museum of Northern Arizona will host the Holiday Navajo Rug Auction at the Coconino Center for the Arts.


The auction will take place December 13, 2008 with an auction preview at 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. followed by the auction itself starting at 4 p.m.. It will feature 300 contemporary and vintage Navajo weavings ranging in a variety of styles.
 
"We heard from so many folks at our last Auction that they wanted more of this kind of event in Flagstaff," says FCP Executive Director, John Tannous. "They liked the exchange with the audience when weavers are present as their own rugs go up for sale. And our auctioneers, the Burnhams, know how to make these events not only fun and lively, but an educational experience for everyone in attendance."
 
Consignments will be accepted for this Auction. - Read the rest of this article.
