Yvonne Phillips is a fourth generation Native
American basket weaver. Her family, Abenaki Indians originally
from the Canadian border area, were a prime source of Adirondack style
pack baskets nationwide. Yvonne, who learned the art from her
grandparents, hand weaves her baskets from hand felled Adirondack ash.
She creates Adirondack pack baskets, candle baskets, arrow quivers,
fishing baskets, wine baskets, letter holders, flower holders, and
more. Her shop, in a red barn on East Starbuck Lane,
features her baskets and other locally produced crafts and is open
Saturdays and Sundays. |

Jason R. Henderson
PO Box 496,
Bolton Landing, NY 12814
J51866@yahoo.com |
 |
|
Jason's work is
the product of an ongoing exploration of utility. How does the
furniture form define the space that it occupies? How do people
interact with the form and utility of the work? However, he is most
interested in the degree of adherence to traditional furniture
archetypes and how that changes how people interact with and view the
work. |

Jeannette Brandt
and Mike Parwana of Chicken Coop Forge believe, as did the proponents
of the Arts and Crafts movement, that not only can everyday things be
beautiful as well as useful, but that everyday life is enhanced if
people are surrounded by well-made beautiful things. They create
commissioned heirloom quality ornamental ironwork using traditional
forging methods and modern techniques. This includes a large variety
of traditional and contemporary products in forged steel, based on the
customer's ideas and style, or their own design. |

Creating metal sculptures ranging from several inches to several feet

pursuits at Small Ponderings. Neither flora nor fauna are safe from
interpretation! What could be next? |

Lise Winne is known for her
songwriting, guitar and angelic soprano vocals. Winner of a grant
from the New York State Council on the Arts, on the playlist of the
prestigious "Mists of Avalon" radio program out of NJ and the member of
two bands, The Spirites Consort (classical, Renaissance, new
interpretations of old songs) and Saratoga Faire (folk and originals),
Lises style is often innovative and defies categorization. "Winne
recalls early Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell, but her sound is actually
older--it's ancient, timeless. . ." (David Malachowski, Albany Times
Union, former guitarist for Shania Twain). Lise has released 3
albums since 1996 and her 4th is to be released soon. Lise started
out as a visual artist and has a bachelors in studio art and a masters
