The Fishers Arts Council has announced its “Winter Art Markets” at Sun King at Fishers District, held in conjunction with The Yard at Fishers District’s “Holiday Open Houses” featuring Santa, hot cocoa, carolers and crafts.
The art markets will be on the second floor of Sun King in Fishers, 9713 District N. Dr., Suite 1220. Those who attend can meet artists and artisans offering unique creations for sale.
Two Winter Art Markets are planned, according to the FAC — one in November and another in December, each featuring different artists and artisans. The November market is set for 6 to 9 p.m. Nov. 30, and will feature:
- Teresa Wesley, who offers amigurumi-style toys and animals, safe for all ages. For these events she will include some Christmas-theme critters such as Rudolph, Santa and Mrs Claus, according to FAC.
- Kat Jacquece (Melanin Flame), who will have handcrafted decorative soy candles as well as special wax melts.
- Kesha Stallings (Natural Blend Cosmetics), with her personal-care items such as natural soaps, body butters, scrubs and beard products.
- Tracy Gordon (Gem Geek), who creates unique handmade gemstone jewelry, created to enhance the beauty of the individual gemstones. Each piece is made using a modified pearl knotting technique.
- Lena Statsenko (Singing Land Fibers), with her fiber arts/crafts, knitted/fiber wearables — including popular fingerless mittens — and fiber wall decor and hand dyed/hand spun yarn.
- Ashley Kilgore (Waya Momma), who offers acrylic and polymer earrings, acrylic 1990s-inspired hair clips and beaded necklaces with crystal chips.
- Stephanie Carignan (Artist Stephanie Carignan), who will have hand-painted ornaments available along with small- to medium-sized paintings and some replica prints. Her painting style is called Impasto, meaning “thick paint,”and her tool of trade is a palette knife. She views herself as an Impressionist with hints of modern realism, according to FAC.
- Walt Thacker (Walt Thacker Artwork), who will have his oil paintings and some Walt Thacker Holiday Cards available. He paints Midwestern landscapes in a surreal sense, according to FAC, with a taste for antiques and old times.
- Emily Winkel (Emily Andra Illustrations), a watercolorist who will have greeting cards, fine art prints and original artworks along with opportunities to book pet portrait commissions. Many of her items are Christmas and winter themed.
