Artist feature: Kathleen Hayward

Kathleen Hayward creates unique beaded jewelry and mixed media wind chimes using upcycled and found materials.

She became interested in "made objects" while working as an industrial photographer in the 1980s. Her passion evolved into the use of black and white photography and traditional lab development processes to capture man-made objects juxtaposed against a natural landscape setting.

Kathleen is still involved in photography but decided to pursue jewelry making in 1999. She uses her previous knowledge of free-flowing space and color to create new objects in the form of jewelry. She taught herself to create sterling silver jewelry and started adding beads to create one-of-a-kind pieces of wearable art. This led to new ideas that included wind chimes constructed from silver plated tea service, driftwood, silverware, upcycled and found materials, and semi-precious stones and beads. Kathleen also uses spoon and fork handles left over from the construction of wind chimes to create new objects such as spoon rings and bracelets with detailed embellishments.

Kathleen does most of her work in her home studio and takes custom orders, offering one-on-one design services to meet the needs of her clients.

She has participated in the Bizarre Bazaar for eight years and more of her work can be found on her website.

Artist Feature: Chelsea McKee

Chelsea McKee is a glass artist specializing in lampwork glass beads and jewelry. She works from a studio located in the back of the Rivendell Bookstore in downtown Abilene, KS. Chelsea has been doing lampwork for about six years, creating a wide variety of pieces ranging from individual beads and pendants to finished sets of jewelry.

 

Chelsea enjoys working with glass because it gives a great range of color and form to work with. This will be her first year at the BizBaz, and she's excited to share her work.

More of Chelsea's work can be found online in her Etsy shop or on Facebook.

2014 BizBaz Artwork

2014 Bizarre Bazaar registration forms have gone out!

Registrations have been sent out and should be arriving in the mail in the next couple of days!

A few things to think about when you get that registration form in the mail:

• Remember, this part of our process is snail mail only.  We don't take any registrations online.  

• We do start a wait list with all of the artists who don't get into the show so that as spaces open up for various reasons there are still opportunities to participate.

• Artists will be notified about participation by the end of July.

Want to be a BizBaz Artist?

The Bizarre Bazaar is a non juried show with a "first received, first in" registration philosophy.  If you're an artist who is interested in participating this fall, you can download the "get on the list" form from the BizBaz website here.  Mail that in and we will put you on the mailing list so you get a registration form when they go out. 

A few FAQs regarding registration:

• Why don't you offer online registration?
• Snail mail registration keeps the process fair for everyone.  The show fills up very quickly and this helps keep the emphasis on local artwork.  

• Why can't I just email you or send you my address through the Facebook page?
• Requiring people to use the "get on the list" form keeps our mailing list from exploding - the effort it takes to download the form and mail it in tends to keep anyone not truly interested from following through.  If you don't submit the "get on the list" form, you won't be added to the mailing list.

• When do registration forms go out? 
• Registrations usually go out around the beginning of June.  Announcements will be posted on the blog, FB, and Twitter.

•  What is expected of participating artists?
• You can read all about how the show works by downloading the "Artist Expectations" form on the website.

• What if I mail in a registration form but I don't get into the show?
• Once the show spots are filled, checks are returned to artists who don't get a booth.  But we do keep a waiting list and move people into the show if possible.  Payment is due if and when a spot opens up.
