This festive fair is to benefit the City of Lakes Waldorf School and will have children’s crafts and activities, live music, fabulous food, plays and puppet shows along with handcrafted gifts from local artists. 15% of the our sales during the Fair will be donated to the school to support the tuition assistance program! Me and my studio-mates Emily Johnson, Susan Frerichs and Betty Jaeger will be there with bells on sharing a table to show off our new jewels. For more information on the school itself, check out the website: http://clws.org
The fresh, crisp air brings a whole new realm of inspiration and an all new collection! Check out my newest pieces. You can see them in person at Gallery 360, the Grand Hand, and of course my studio at the Northrup King Building.
I can't believe it's August already, but you know what that means-- the Uptown Art Fair! I am so excited to join the other artists in this Art Fair staple in the Midwest. With over 12 different art mediums and a whole weekend to explore, you are sure to find something wonderful. Stop by and support local, working artists, and find something special to take home. Come check out my new collection full of fun colors and layers. Me and my studio mate, Emily Johnson will show side by side so come check out the jewel extravaganza!
Britta Lynn Design jewelry is now available at The Grand Hand Gallery in St. Paul! This is one of my favorite galleries in Minnesota and I am so happy to be among other local and regional artist they represent. The Grand Hand continually offers the best of contemporary fine American craft from local artisans to well established national icons in a variety of media: wood, fiber, glass, clay, and of course jewelry. Stop by to see my full collection!
Art-A-Whirl is here again! Every spring the Arts District in Northeast Minneapolis comes alive with the largest art crawl and gallery tour in the nation. Every artist building, studio, and gallery in the area opens their doors to an enthusiastic crowd. Thousands of people come to check out the local art scene and view new collections and artists' working spaces. Hundreds of artists from fibers, clay, paint, video, and of course jewelry will display their work for show and sale.
The snow is all gone, the birds are chirping, the grass is green... could it be... spring?! Along with the longer, warmer days spring also brings art show season. This year I will participate in three amazing shows: the Walker Art Mart, Art-A-Whirl, and close the summer with the Uptown Art Fair. I am ecstatic to join the ranks at these prestigious events and am working hard to bring a fresh new collection to show. Here's another sneak peek to jewels: layered blackened sterling silver chain with lustrous pearl accents. It is so delicate but still has a great toughness to it as well.
Check out the new pieces focused on asymmetrical elements and gemstone accents. The above earrings are part of the "Tree Ring" collection with the outlines mimicking the year rings of a tree. The below necklaces are the starting points to a new collection. I love the contradiction of the white, lustrous pearl mixed with the bold, black silver.
