Carol Potter

Carol Potter has made dolls for years, as she has been sewing since her high school days and selling her creations during that time. Carol has also taken her doll parts to work where friends and coworkers admired her work and wanted to buy it. 

Two years ago Carol began making pixie fairy coats and armwarmers. She truly enjoys shopping for used sweaters and recreating them into new jackets. Carol is a repurpose, reuse, relove addict and proud of it ~ she is thankful to be blessed with creativity and loves what she does. Make sure to stop by her table and peruse her wares!

Griselda Williams

Griselda Williams became interested in using art as an expression of the human experience about 9 years ago, thus named her business “Feelings Art”.

 Griselda has worked in the human services field for many years, helping people as they are managing life challenges. After moving to the Kansas City area 10 years ago, she began taking art classes. As she sat with people in my helping job, Griselda began to visualize art that depicted their stories. She then began making mixed-media art that represented things that people told her or situations she observed them trying to manage.

While the art that she make depicts the challenges that humans deal with, it also has a positive outcome or hopeful message. Griselda always includes a hopeful message in her art as she sees people everyday that overcome great adversity and is amazed at the resiliency of the human spirit.

Gayle Martin

KCAI alumni, Gayle Martin of Rock Creek Crockery makes one-of-a-kind ornaments, mobiles & 4 X 4 desk vases that create a lasting gift impression. 
Using the ceramic surface as a canvas, Gayle combines several crayola colors as a base for her art. Second and third applications of crystaltex glazes create bursts of color adding contrast and blend with the base. The final application of lusters on the surface give the impression of sparkling precious stones. Visit Gayle's website or stop by her table at Crafty Chicks to see more of her work.

Carol & Samantha Schaefer

 Native Blue Springs mother-and-daughter team, Carol and Samantha Schaefer are co-founders of Coasters To Coasters. As wine enthusiasts, they always appreciate a good coaster. Needless to say, they fell in love with the idea of creating coasters that help tell the story of your favorite places in the city or school you love. 
Currently their collection features landmarks in Kansas City and surrounding suburbs as well as the University of Kansas and University of Missouri. And even though one's an MU grad and the other a KU grad, they've been able to put their differences aside as they strive to take their craft coast-to-coast. Of course, they'll be enjoying wine along the way.
