HOLIZAAR SPOTLIGHT ON: THE QUILTING VIOLINIST




The Quilting Violinist returns to Holizaar with more fantastic fabric creations this year-- from full size quilts to smaller gift-able things like ornaments, stockings, place mats, table runners, bath mats, and other home goods. These items are all hand cut and machine pieced and quilted on the artist's home sewing machine in her smoke free and pet free home. Everything is washed and dried before selling unless otherwise noted. In case you were wondering: yes, she really is a violinist!

HOLIZAAR SPOTLIGHT ON: WADE SLATER



Everyone loves monsters right? Well we sure love Wade Slater's monsters! These fun and friendly faces have been a part of Holizaar for a couple of years now and they always are a real treat to behold!  Wade shares his passion for art as an educator by day.  He uses re-purposed materials in many of his sculptures and often paints on the paper bags he uses for packaging sales giving his customers a super bonus piece of art to go!  His passion and enthusiasm for creating is obvious.  You'll definitely want to stop and visit with him during the show!
