Watch Alicia Degener create a multi-color print





Alicia Degener is a Brooklyn based emerging artist exploring the urban landscape of New York City. Bridges, landmarks and Coney Island are favored subjects for Degener's vision of a city saturated in vibrant, bold colors almost unctious in their intensity. Alicia primarily works in large pastels but also has a series of affordable linoleum block prints. Alicia has won mutiple showcase awards on Artslant.com and recently was placed on their Artist Watchlist. Alicia will bring along her art supplies and demonstrate how she creates her multi-colored, limited-edition linoleum prints. Come to Ft. Greene Park’s Artisan-Market and see the creation of an original artwok first hand on Saturdays, May 14 starting at 10ÅM, when she will apply a second color to her new Coney Island Parachute Jump print. She will be working on the linolleum block through the day and a third color will be added in the afternoon. Read more about Alicia Degener on her website.

For all our jeweler friends

  • Got a head's up from my oldest daughter, Tanya Garment, who thought there would probably be at least a couple jewelry artisans interested in getting gemstones at wholesale prices. Daughters are most helpful in spreading the word
  •  so without further ado - she forwarded the following from another person's daughter:  
  • Hi Parents, My father is visiting NYC from his new home in India, where he is in the gem business. He is a man obsessed with these beautiful stones. He knows every detail, and they are each hand-picked by him from his personal suppliers who have been in the gem-cutting business for generations. If anyone out there wants to create a special piece of jewelry for a loved one this holiday season, come by and see what he has. His prices are far better than anything you'd find in a store since he has no overhead or advertising costs.
  • Details are below. 
  • ********************************

Glowing Gems - direct from the gemstone cutting workshops of Jaipur, INDIA 
Ruby, sapphire, blue topaz, aquamarine, tanzanite, peridot, citrine and more!
