Let's start from the beginning shall we?
Shiny Fuzzy Muddy was founded in 2003 by Kari Woo of Kari Woo Contemporary Art Jewelry
Laura McKibbon of Cul De Sac Designs (below)

Shiny Fuzzy Muddy formed in 2003 to collaborate in
creating events that bring their art to the people. The driving force and
vision behind the non-profit collective comes from the group’s five core
members (as mentioned above) Initially drawn to each other’s aesthetic
sensibilities, they found great support and inspiration in their collaboration
and so it has lived on ever since!
Let
me just interject the history of SFM for a moment here and give great applause
to the greatly talented and dynamic group of women who are the founders of
Shiny Fuzzy Muddy for their 10 YEAR anniversary! This ladies, is a landmark truly
worth recognizing and being SUPER proud of! :)
SHINYFUZZYMUDDY
is presented by these 5 founders and it takes place the second weekend in
December at Heritage Hall. With an effort made to seek out new artists, up to
twenty guests are invited to exhibit and sell their work at this historic Main
St. location. The common thread that ties the work together is the high quality
of design, craftsmanship and material sensibility.
Adhesif
Clothing was also founded in 2003. The exact same year Shiny Fuzzy Muddy was
created so I too share in the triumph of land marking a decade and am SO PROUD to be a
part of a well curated local event filled with such dynamic talent! This will be Adhesif
Clothing's 3rd year in participation at Shiny Fuzzy Muddy and we couldn't be
more excited for this weekend’s event!!!
In celebration for this upcoming event, Adhesif Clothing
has been busy busy creating a multitude of what we affectionately refer to as
our "Warm Fuzzies" :)
A selection of our ever popular reworked and up-cycled
cardigans, sweaters and sweater dresses can be found at the Shiny Fuzzy Muddy show this weekend. They will keep you nice and toasty, sure to put a smile on
your face and your loved ones this holiday season! We will also have brand new designs from our Fall-Winter
2013 Collection.
Shiny Fuzzy Muddy is about seeking out new artists, so there are new vendors to see every year! This year up to twenty guests are invited to exhibit and sell their work at this historic Main St. location. The common thread that ties the work together is the high quality of design, craftsmanship and material sensibility.
You say your already starting to feel the gnawing effects of Christmas music being played incisively over the last few months?? Well fret no more weary holiday shopper! Shiny Fuzzy Muddy totes understands your dilemma!
To make everything
feel as funky as humanly possible, Shiny Fuzzy Muddy will be playing the
godfather of soul's a Funky Christmas album on repeat ALL WEEKEND LONG!!
Ok ok ok...they won't
be doing that either but come on!
That WOULD be pretty darn SWEET don't you think???
That WOULD be pretty darn SWEET don't you think???
Created as an antidote
to large-scale craft fairs, they aim to present a pleasant shopping (and
selling!) atmosphere. With a long standing tradition of free admission and a
decided lack of holiday music, patrons can be sure to find meaningful objects
in the most pleasant of shopping environments.
(...but secretly I'm
still totally into FUNKY CHRISTMAS!! YES!)
