Some of the ceramic bowls displayed near the High School Clay Coalition booth. All products were made by students from East High School and West High School in Madison.
There be dragons here! Love the whimsical metal sculptures by Brady Lueck of Wisconsin.
Fiber/Leather. Gotta love the look and smell of this booth, Roche Leather!
That frog can jam! Steel/Outdoor art by Wisconsin artist James Sauer.
I don't think I need to explain why this was one of my absolute favorite booths. Alas, they are far outside my meager budget, but sooooo pretty to look at. Check out Mychal Mitchell's website to see more, or to place an order.
I love the way these woven wire sculptures by Michael Gard seem to float on the air.
This photo and the next are by the same artist, Mark Sijan, who was Best of Show in 2009. He works in Sculpture and 3D Media. You have to check out his website!

Wow, that looks like a fun day. I can't decide if I like the french-horn playing frog or the air people better. Some amazing work!
Happy Thirteening...great list.
Nicola: If I had the money, I would definitely choose one of the air people...provided I had a place to put it/them. Thanks for visiting! *g*
Oh, I love art fairs! I would love to have been there. Great stuff. :) Happy Thursday!
Those wire sculptures are fantastic aren't they! I love art fairs, it's great the students were involved too.
That one cow looks so surprised. You gotta wonder.
I particularly like the floating sculptures. May I write a poem about them?

Love the wire sculptures and the stuff by Mark Sijan. Checking out his site now! :)
happy Thursday!
I wish we had some markets like this around us. The stalls all look tempting to me.
I love the gourds! It's my first time ever to see those.
Mark Sijan is amazing and so are those wire sculptures. I'm off to be shocked by the prices of those leather covers.
Great list. Happy T13!
what a great event!! I wish we had more of those around here! It makes for such a fun day out!
The frog and wire sculpures are wonderful!
So much talent! Those high school students did such a great job making real bowls. I love the gourd chili peppers and those wire sculptures ~ wow!
Those handcrafted books are amazing. The wire sculptures are awesome, too.
You gotta love those fairs.
Have a great day!

These are great! I love the wire sculptures!
Stephanie: Art fairs are great for inspiration and people watching, aren't they?
Deb: I love those wire sculptures. And yes, the students did an excellent job, and had a brisk business at their stall.
Alice: You would notice the cows, LOL.
Rinkley: Write away! I'm sure the artist would be flattered to know he'd inspired people.
Adelle: Easy to see why they were among my favorite booths, isn't it? So how shocked were you by the price of the journals?
Dennis: Definitely a fun event, and something the entire family can take in. Something there for everyone, no matter what one's tastes. I'm lucky to live in an area that promotes the arts and where there are several art fairs of different sizes not only during the summer, but throughout the year.
David: I had a feeling people would love those wire sculptures as much as I do! *g*
Erin: Be prepared to be amazed. The work he showed at the fair was amazing enough, but there is so much more on Sijan's website.
Shelley: The different booths are all tempting in one way or another. There is so much to see and most of the artists quite amiable.
Hazel: Aren't the gourds awesome? I love how fun and festive they are!
Kristen: Amazing talent and creativity both, and of all ages, too.
Elise: No question as to why those were two of my favorite displays, is there? *vbg*
Harriet: Definitely love them! Arts and crafts fairs are a great way to spend a day, or just an hour or two.
Journeywoman: Those wire sculptures truly were amazing - there was just enough breeze that day so that they looked like they were dancing on air.
Ooo, ahhh, gorgeous! Well, right up until the severed head! lol
I really want some of those sculptures. Amazing artistry all around. Thank you for sharing!
Love seeing all the different art mediums. Happy Thursday!
You were right. These are great! A great photojournal tour with just enough color and gore!
That's some great artwork there. Nice festival.
How very cool!
What a beautiful art fair!!
Jana: What, you have something against the headless? LOL
Darla: Me too, me too! I'm glad you liked! *g*
Colleen: "Color and gore..." Hehe -- glad you enjoyed!
Anita: Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed!
Inez: It is, isn't it? And these are only 12 of more than 600 booths one could stop and gawk at!
Brandy: Thank you, and thanks for stopping by!
Ooooh wow! What a fantastic post! I LOVE the Wall O Purses. That's my weakness.
And the leather bound books? Sweeeeeeeeeet.
The sculpture was absolutely amazing.
Love your post.
Happy Belated TT.
Janice~
Jennifer: See what you miss by never visiting your sister? (Kidding - I know you have A LOT on your plate right now.)
Janice: Er, which sculptures did you like? The wire ones or the ones at end of the post? They're both pretty great, aren't they?
The Frog is awesome!!! Hope you had a great time.
Thanks, Kaye! It was a good time. Just wish I could afford to buy some of what I saw, lol.
