Annual High Desert Studio Tour

Poster for High Desert Studio Tour

 

 

 

…and just in case you can’t make the New Mexico Arts & Crafts Festival on November 19, High on Hooking will also be participating in the 12th Annual High Desert Studio Tour. Of course, you can come to both. In fact, you should.

 

For the past several years, New Mexican hand-dyer and knitter extraordinaire, Dagmar Beinenz-Byrd of ZiaWoolz has generously invited me to join her at her home and studio for the High Desert Studio Tour (click to download the brochure). We won’t talk about the past couple of years that Covid screwed us out of such things. It’s an intimate venue rather than one filled with all kinds of vendors and activities, allowing one the chance toย  get in some good conversations with makers, letting you learn more about my work as well as Dagmar’s. In addition, Sarah Lovell of Southwest Sunflower Pottery will have all kinds of things that you didn’t even realize you need. (I know. I have some, LOL.)

To be sure, there are other arts and artists on the tour. They include painters, sculptors, jewelers and more spread out over seven different studios. More info is available in the brochure. And, certainly, if you have any questions, please email me at Laura@highonhooking.com.

 

 

Mugs by Sarah Lovell
Her Rio Grande mugs provide just a taste of Sarah’s pottery.

If you’re looking to find holiday gifts for family and friends (and yourself!), please come see us at the New Mexico Arts & Crafts Festival in November AND at the High Desert Studio Tour in December.

High Desert Studio Tour this Saturday

 

 

Pamphlet for High Desert Studio Tour
High Desert Studio Tour, 2019

Once again it’s time for the HIGH DESERT STUDIO TOUR in Albuquerque. And once again Dagmar of ZIA WOOLZ has generously invited myself and Sarah of SOUTHWEST SUNFLOWER POTTERY into her home and studio to participate in the tour. I, in turn, invite you to come sip a cup of mulled cider and chat whilst perusing the hand-dyed yarns, fabulous pottery, and of course, hooked rugs.

You’ll find us at 13701 Elena Gallegos NE, Highlands, of High Desert in Albuquerque.

Mention this post and get 10% off a rug. That’ll ensure that you and I can both buy some yarn and maybe a mug. ๐Ÿ™‚

 

Now ogle some of the wares available for purchase on Saturday. ๐Ÿ™‚

Fingerless mittens
Aren’t these fingerless mittens yummy? Dag made them. Actually, she spun and dyed the wool and then knitted them. So many colors to choose from…
