“Crochet is like painting with yarn--it allows you to create beautiful works of art with your own hands.” -- from The Crafters Nook

We are pleased to welcome back a much-loved vendor in our arts community. At her first Kilgore event, she sold so many great things she was making more on-site to keep up with demand, and she's been a popular vendor since!

We'll let her say hello in her own words:
Hi I'm Cassie of Mama Cass Crochet!! I have been crocheting for over 10 years but it feels like forever!! I have made gifts for people all over the country!! From baby blankets to stuffed animals to messy bun beanies to Christmas gifts...I LOVE TO CROCHET!!!! The best part is that I can customize colors for my customers!! I am so looking forward to seeing everyone at ArtWalk!!!

ArtWalk is pleased to welcome Annie's Jams and Jellies to our Fall event!

You may recognize this young maker and entrepreneur from the Farmer's Market, where she sold her homemade jams and jellies in a variety of flavors. Delicious on toast, desserts, sandwiches, or straight from the jar with a spoon (go ahead; we won't judge or tell anyone!), these confectious condiments will satisfy your sweet tooth, complete your breakfast, and also make great gifts. From a summery watermelon jelly to an autumnal apple butter, there's no wrong choice!

Come support Annie and other young artists and creators during the ArtWalk!

With a sense of fun and a Lisa Frank palette, Emily creates delightful stickers, prints, accessories, and decorative pieces.
