The Arts & Crafted artisan pop-up shop continues in A Little Beacon Space through Sunday, and then poof! It’s gone like a pumpkin!

Shop from artists you can only find in pop-up opportunities like this (unless you find them via retail boutique options, which is always great!).

Artists include Anna West, a prolific painter who’s usually accessible by Instagram; Caiming Cheung, a metalsmith and jewelry designer known for her symbolic shapes; Kat Stoughtenborough, a fiber artist who right now is exploring shrunken wool wreaths; and Virginia Piazza, one of Beacon’s best-known potters.

Caiming Cheung is one artist I personally have been following ever since she cast a design of Beacon’s Dummy Light, which was included in Beacon Open Studios one year. She has a necklace in the shop now that is a fine twig on which a rose is placed. While I thought the chain would be too short for me, it fit perfectly. I’m bringing in my people in today to claim it for a Christmas wish. Each year I try to collect at least one piece from a metalsmith. I better get there before you, though! Just kidding, don’t worry: Caiming has more than one of these necklaces. She designs the mold, then sends it out to get cast in the metal, and voilà. The finished product sits in A Little Beacon Space right now. Find rings, earrings and bracelets also on her table.

Anna West is another I need to start my collection with. She has several inspiring themes, including chairs and shadows. Currently I’m leaning towards the chairs with shadow collection.

Virginia is someone whose work I have in my cupboards now, with a sugar bowl and garlic bowl. But I don’t have a robin’s-egg blue mug - yet… Also, do discover the smooth finish she has on some of the ribbed bowls she has on her table.

Kat designed a blue wool fabric wreath for Tin Shingle’s new co-working space downstairs. (Go check it out! We’ve opened the door for you to take a peek.) My daughter spied a small pink or purple wreath she coveted, so in we go with the Christmas wish list. Would make a great stocking popper (you know, something soft popping out of the top of a stuffed stocking).

The pop-up closes at 5pm today, so get in while you can!
