Artistic Artifacts at Houston Festival 2009

Aritistic Artifacts’ booth number is: 1257/1259 Located in the Cloth Paper Scissors section of the show floor.  Look up for the banner to guide you to the exciting mixed media section of Houston Festival.

We  have many new products in the charm, metal stampings and beads, ephemera, hand dyed silks- great for silk paper making- New hand dyed vintage fabrics and trims 

The author Liz Kettle will be in the Artistic Artifacts’ booth- her book will hopefully make the plane from the printing press in time for autographs during Festival.

Artistic Artifacts will participate in  Make It Univesity with Cloth Paper Scissors workshops again this year.  Times are listed below.

As per the sponsor’s website:

These workshops will be taught by exhibitors and artists in the Make It University!™ with Cloth Paper Scissors pavilion, with a maximum of 25 people per session. The fee for each workshop is $10, and workshop participation will be determined by lottery. Each workshop will have its own lottery. The lottery will open for each workshop the day the workshop is given, and people may put their name in each workshop lottery jar from the time the show opens that day up until 15 minutes prior to the start of the workshop. Participants may put their name in each workshop lottery only once, but may put their name in as many different workshop lotteries as they choose. People must be physically present 15 minutes prior to the start of the workshop to hear if their name is called. If the person isn’t present, unfortunately their spot will be forfeited and another name will be called.
