Crafters offer array of items at KWF

By STEPHANIE SPENCER
Every year the Kirtland’s Warbler Festival attracts a unique group
of crafters, all featuring unique, nature-oriented items.
Visitors will find award-winning wildlife photography, duck
decoys, paintings, lap quilts, ornate baskets and jewelry. One
crafter from Iowa offers bird houses crafted from gourds.
The arts and crafts booths are set up on the front lawn not far
from the KWF headquarters tent in front of the Student Center. The
craft show will be open Saturday, from 9-5 p.m., and Sunday, from
10-3 p.m.
Diane Moreland sold the baskets she weaved at last year’s
festival, the first for her, and she found the crowd to be very
friendly and interested in her craft. Her baskets, handmade with
no glue or staples, sell from $10-40.
Deb Near, a Kirtland employee who coordinates the craft show, said
she hears good things from many other crafters as well.
“We always receive great feedback from those who sell wares at the
show,” Near said. “They’re nice people to work with; I enjoy
working with them every year.” |
