LETTER FROM THE CURATOR
join us IN SUPPORTING those in our local art community! more information at www.artsglenallen.com
Dear Friends, 2020 has certainly been a year of challenges for everybody and artists are no exception. With businesses closing temporarily during quarantine and events being cancelled throughout the year as we ride out the pandemic, artisans who depend on the sale of their goods at these places have lost income and will continue to do so as Fall and holiday events continue to be cancelled due to uncertainty about the future. Handmade for the Holidays was created to give artists and makers a chance to share their work with the public in a safe way while providing customers with wonderful, unique options for home décor, personal accessories, holiday gifts, and more. Your purchase through this catalog helps to support the makers profiled here as well as the Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen, a 501(c) 3 organization. Your purchase helps a local maker pay the bills and keep at their craft while also helping the Center to continue important outreach programs and to keep providing high quality art and resources for the Richmond, VA region. The best gifts are handmade – so please enjoy shopping the myriad of products by our artisans – all made with love! Thank you for shopping with us!

BIJOUX BELLEFLEUR Susann Belflower
German born, Susann Belflower moved with her family to Richmond, VA in 1999. She has loved art all her life and was a crafter since she can remember. After arriving in the USA, she had the opportunity to study art at VCU, Richmond. In 2000, she began working to obtain a BFA in Crafts with a minor in Art History. During her studies in metals, she received several awards and grants for her achievements. She loves to draw inspiration from nature and loves organic forms. To her, metalsmithing is a language where the possibilities are endless. Form, materials, and color can be combined in many different ways. Later she worked at a numerous bead and craft shops teaching classes. During that time, she learned beading techniques and realized that beads, silver, and metalsmithing work together beautifully. Since then, she created her own unique style of jewelry, some of which is displayed in various galleries and stores in VA & FL.

LOLLIE’S

LAUREN HALL For as long as she can remember, Lauren liked to create. Encouraged by and inspired by her mom, she enjoyed making everything from hair bows to beaded bracelets and would sell them at church bazaars. While playing with different media over the years, Lauren found herself constantly drawn to the long aisles of beads at the craft stores. Their colors, shapes, and varied styles had her imagination running wild. Eventually, while pregnant with her son, she gave in, purchasing beads to make her mom a bracelet for Christmas and that was the start of Lollie’s. After her son was born, she spent late hours, when he was asleep, playing with colors and textures to create unique pieces. Designing became a passion that she has continued for over fourteen years, always exploring new materials and styles.

PRETTIES + PAPER Ashley Lavin
Pretties + Paper is focused on creating fun products that make people happy. Their pet bandanas line started because they had a hard time finding stylish options in stores that were large enough for their rescue dogs. They gladly offer sizes for teeny tiny pets, giant breeds, and all those in between. Their products are made with every bit of attention to detail and are meant to last using quality materials. Giving back to our community (and beyond) is a huge priority to their business. So, with every pet bandana that is sold, they are proud to donate one to rescues or shelters.
Pet Bandanas A classic tie-on bandana made with cotton fabric. Each is double sided with a triangle shape meant to be tied into a knot around your pet’s neck. The edges have an overlock seam finish. Made durable, but not meant for rough play. Various sizes available; if you are not sure or between sizes, it is best to size up. XS S M L XL XXL

WOLFGANG BEARD CO.
Mike & Kristy Montesano As a husband and wife team, Mike & Kristy Montesano established Wolfgang Beard Co. in 2016 after Mike’s numerous attempts at trying to find a beard care regimen that not only was a healthy and nourishing solution to his own beard, but also to fit his budget. Mike & Kristy researched and tried all sorts of natural ingredients and scents that would suit all skin types (particularly sensitive skin) until they perfected their recipes for not only natural and healthy beard/skin care products, but numerous different scent options to choose from, while providing a local and budget friendly solution to those needs as well. While Mike handcrafts all their products, Kristy manages the business/marketing side, which makes for a great team! Mike is also a fulltime conductor for Amtrak, so between that and their two sons (5 and almost 1), life keeps these two busy!

MORRIS DESIGN Pat Morris
Pat grew up on the beaches of the eastern coasts from Newport, Rhode Island to Florida and has a strong connection with the Atlantic Ocean landscape. As a designer, she takes inspiration from the ever-changing forms and colors in the sky, sand, and surf, and in the birds and plants that are able to thrive in this somewhat hostile environment. When designing, her first thoughts are always of color. Every color evokes its own feeling and every ray of light magnifies, or changes, that feeling. The emotion of each color suggests to Pat the line, form, and texture elements needed to make the design work. She travels along a chaotic, instinctive path that doesn’t always make sense until the design is complete. She works in several mediums: fabric (costume/home), clay (jewelry/home); and semi-precious gems and beads of various types (jewelry).

CHARLOTTE’S WEB Charlotte Parks
Growing up poor on a small North Carolina farm, Charlotte’s earliest memory of homemade perfume was a drop of vanilla extract rubbed on her wrist. During frequent walks in the woods she was surrounded by the smell of flowers, freshly plowed fields, rain dampened earth, harvested grains, hickory nuts and leaves smoldering in an autumn fire, each with its own intoxicating aroma. Inspired by these childhood memories, she created these harmoniously blended botanical body oils that awaken your senses to the earth’s ever-present fragrances.

ART BY ICHSHE Diane Davis
After seeing a heart drawn right before her eyes as a child, Diane Davis, known as Ichshe (I-She) to her friends, knew art would always be part of her life. After graduating from college, she focused on graphic arts, painting, and drawing. Her passion for art and the excitement of sharing that love blossomed when she began working with Alzheimer’s patients. The talent that poured from these first-time artists was a beautiful surprise to both student and teacher. Diane taught more first-time acrylic students for several years at the Cultural Arts Center. Once again, she saw amazing talents emerge. She told students, “When you pick up a brush today, you may never put it down.” She encourages everyone to take an art class, especially if you’ve never painted, and make some magic! Her joy comes from creating collages and paintings and her fun, vibrant personality is evident in her work.

MARBLE-OUS CREATIONS Wayne Swatlowski
Wayne started out as an artisan creating beaded jewelry but, about 15 years ago, switched to glass. He uses a very unique marble fusing process using a microwave kiln. He enjoys working with glass because the end product is always a bit of a surprise. He may try to control the color of the pendant by the way he arranges the marbles, but in the end…the glass wins and the pendant will be what it wants to be! Wayne retired from non-profit work one year ago and now has more time for experimenting with this art form. It works well at keeping one old man from wandering the streets aimlessly. Wayne thanks you for supporting the artisans in this catalog!

sean toler photography sean toler
As soon as he had a 35mm point and shoot camera as a teen, Sean Toler was hooked on photography, but his love for abandonment photography began later in life. After his father-in-law gifted him his first digital camera that Christmas, on a whim, Sean stopped the car on the way to his parent’s house to photograph an old building he had seen hundreds of times growing up. Though that building no longer stands, it has been preserved digitally through his camera. In this way, he feels that he and so many others like him, are helping to preserve part of our history as more and more old buildings succumb to weakness and decay or are demolished in the name of progress. Early this year, Sean’s first book of photography was published. Forgotten Virginia features photographs documenting places and spaces from around the state while also sharing backstories and histories uncovered along the way.
